Pop Artists! Back in the day, getting signed to a major label meant you made it!
The good news? The days are over that you needed a record deal to build your career.
Chance The Rapper has earned himself a loyal audience and a few Grammy Awards. And he’s done so without the help of a major label and “paying” with his creative freedom.
These days you need great songs, amazing production and a strategy to kickstart your career. All this is possible without the backup of a label.
All the assets you need to make music and get it in front of an audience (and high in the charts) are available. What a wonderful time to be an artist.
So, stop making excuses and waiting for “a major record deal” to make it happen.
Create your music career!
1. Perfect your craft.
2. Collaborate with a producer to create high quality productions.
3. Arm yourself with knowledge about the way things work. Educate yourself about music marketing.
4. Social media is your friend. Put something on YouTube and it might be the next viral hit.
5. Network, network, and network some more.
6. Be persistent.
Don’t get me wrong. It takes time, a lot of hard work and persistence to build a career.
But that’s the price you pay for a fulfilling career.
