Hello Lady's and Germs! I was gathering together ideas for some good Blog material and I thought I would share one of the best things you could EVER read about. And that would be someone's Life experience, and not only that an experience they've LEARNED from.
There are many industry's to choose from on this earth. And my choice has been concluded in the "Music Industry." Now a days EVERYONE thinks they have to be OF music. I say OF music instead of IN music because most of the "artists" you hear today have been thrown in the music world rather than SELF choosing to give people music from the heart. When your IN something it becomes a part of you and success WILL show. Just because a size zero dress fits your best friend, doesn't mean yo big butt needs to squeeze into a size zero dress too! Thats what I see happening in this industry, everyones trying to FIT into music and its JUST NOT looking or sounding good. "Get them a great ghost writer and a promising beat and we'll make them the next Justin Bieber." Thats the attitude these agents have now. Instead of listening to what's actually being put out there for the people to hear. We have to listen to some big executives fat daughters opinion on what she thinks of this and that song.
Allot of the time you will have marketing company's tell you how to sell the product you have. PLEASE, today if what you have HAS quality you WILL NOT need a marketing company to sell what you have. IT WILL SELL ON ITS OWN! You should be able to sell as is! Unfortunately the industry I am in has too many people that will promise you the world. However a huge majority are incapable of doing so. Most marketing company's can't even handle the weight of the world, but they will promise you IT and then some to pay their next bill. MANY will promise but FEW will deliver.
I have been in this industry for 7 and a half years now and I'm still anxious on learning and becoming wise in this business. I have collaborated with Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch and have been to the top floor of the Universal Corporate building for a meeting with Pat of a Universal Music Group branch off. One thing I have realized is, if you are "IN" what your dream is. It WILL get you places. But the trick is to "STAY" with what your dream is. The reason why some of the REAL artists make as much as they do is simply because they HAD and still HAVE what it took to breakthrough in such an unforgiving industry. So if this is your industry I'll share this with you. "Be IN music, and not OF music."
With L.O.V.E.,
