Helpful Info I've Learned
- Don't sign local record label deals. Unless they are the exception, most local record labels only offer you "perks" you can easily achieve yourself. Things like "we can get you on Spotify". TuneCore is the website to get your music on multiple streaming platforms and it doesn't cost much.
- Music videos can be expensive. Phone cameras are pretty great these days. If you can't afford music videos from actual videographers, simply create visualizers on your phone. 10-20 sec reoccurring clips tend to keep viewers engaged more than just a simple picture.
- Expenses add up BUT lease your beats WITH STEMS. Makes the engineer job so much easier plus you can add your own special spin to the beat.
- Work with other artists. Trying to be so individualized stunts, not just yours, but everyone's growth. Together we all achieve more. Gather as many contacts as you can. Communicate often with other artist. This is how organic movements can occur.
- Stop trying to be the next (insert artist(s)). Be the 1st you. Of course, we are all inspired by artist before us but the goal is to carve out your own unique style.
- Make music that is true to your life. Listeners generally can tell if you are just a persona. There are some exceptions but the majority of the time listeners can dispel the cap. As a result, they won't support you.
- Don't get discouraged if your city doesn't support you. Alot of times, you have to receive love outside your hometown before home shows love. Network, do shows, and collab outside your community. Prove to your hometown you are really him/her
......if anyone has any tips I missed or don't know. Feel free to comment. I am always open to learning 🙏🏾
