Everyone who has devoted extensive time and money to becoming a musician obviously wants something good to come of it. This blog will not only provide young and developing musicians with the basic information they need to manage themselves and book their own gigs, but also updates on the new techniques I'm learning.
It seems as though everyone tells you that you need to find a manager, however, in reality it is not feasible to start with one.
Learning how to manage yourself will...
- Keep you from getting taken advantage of.
- Keep you in control of your creativity, identity, money and business.
- Increase your knowledge of business, marketing and sales in a way that can benefit you beyond the music business.
Remember that hard work pays off. To me, it seems that the music business, more than most, is about what you put into it, not just getting lucky.
'Til next time
