The music business is a highly competitive (okay, cutthroat) industry comprising a lot of demanding professions besides performer -- meaning singer, songwriter, musician, producer, or whatever combination of those you are.
Check the top ten tunes today, and you?ll see (hear) that sometimes there?s even talent in certain how-to-make-it formulas, though it?s not absolutely required. Performers find many ways to counterfeit talent anyway, while technical positions have live, open-access reality checks daily.
The sights and sounds, the motions and colors, the scenarios and soundtracks playing in your heart, mind, and soul -- that?s the art that you are; painting it, sculpting it, composing it, dancing it, singing it, marketing it too -- that?s the craft that you do. It?s the craft that brings your art to life and gives it a home in other people?s lives.
You have to do the promoting, get the gigs, keep the books, get the copyrights, write the letters and e-mails, make the demos, play the shows, build the buzz, tell the media that you are building a buzz, all of it.
