So what is success in the Music Industry? While there are no guarantees in any profession you pursue there are a number of factors to consider when presenting your music to those in the industry that can make your dreams become a reality. If done properly the end result can truly change your life, or at least help you to quit a day job. Some factors to consider are; a great attitude, a good marketable sound & image, good writing and playing abilities, an industry standard production, legal "camp" or representation, & above all a solid presentation all your musical achievements. Positive exposure of all this to the right people is where things can get interesting. These people have the resources necessary to take your independent operation to the next level.
Having what it takes The biggest mistake I’ve seen bands make over the years is sitting around, waiting for a record label to show up, and offer them a record deal, or make them millionaires. How about for now we put aside the Limousines, the Hot tub parties, & Playboy Mansion Invitations, and set a much more realistic goal for yourself - achieving success as an independent artist first. I’m here to tell you before you sell out a Stadium, you must first sell out the local club. Before you mount a Gold Record on the wall, you must first sell thousands of CD’s from the trunk of your car. Before you conquer the world, you must first conquer a certain city or locale. If you're not willing to do any of the above, then this line of work is not for you. Many new bands and artists out there severely underestimate the amount of work it takes just to quit their day job. If your band does not gross a million dollars in the first year, does that equate to failure? Absolutely not. Setting realistic “milestones” or goals in anything you do is a stepping-stone to success. Being a popular artist or band has it's way of being contagious especially via word of mouth. If your doing everything right, typically all the questions answer themselves over time. In any business venture you can even expect a certain degree of failure along the way. But if you stick with it, don’t give up, remain sharp, consistent, and even get a little lucky - it can be the wildest ride you’ll ever experience.
