For majority of the musicians out there, creating music is all about an artistic vision and being very creative. It’s all about channeling your inspirations into music, and creating songs that everyone can relate to. But while it’s true that the music industry is very much about creativity, there’s also another side of the industry that’s equally important: the business side of a music career. Don't enter the music industry with the idea that a lifetime of music nerd-dom has made you a music biz expert. Not only will you annoy people, but you'll also be dead wrong and miss out on the chance of really learning what makes things tick. If you are first starting out, you will have to determine what element of the music business you want to become involved with. Many are gifted, and have a passion and drive to be on the creative; "talent", performer side of the industry. But, there are numerous opportunities, and people that are more suited to be on the management, administrative, executive and company support side of the industry. A problem I believe most people have is what I call a “Fame Whore” Someone who just wants to be in the spotlight and have all the attention. Doing so u can miss out on what your calling might actually be. What are some of your thoughts about this?
I agree with you 100%. Theres nothing more annoying than a music nerd who thinks they know everything about music.
ReplyDeleteYes completely agree with you. I know a lot of "Fame Whores" who just want to be in the spotlight but don't have the talent for it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a tremendous thing when a person realizes their niche in life and pursue it with passion, drive and determination. Anything worth having is worth working for. When you give your art (whether in music, writing, or etc.) you have to be willing to leave a piece of your self with it. That is when you know you have achieved greatness
