Music Business Success

Your music business success may only truly be defined by you the recording artist, music business professional, garage band, songwriter, singer, rap artist, music producer, music manager, composer or a&r, etc. Do not underestimate this. Clearly defining what music business success is for you will save you from attempting to fit in into someone else's reality.

Commercial music business success is defined by various benchmarks. Selling 1,000,000 single downloads, appearing at the top of Billboard's top 100 list, performing a sell out concert tour, gracing the homepage of the most visited music industry websites and blogs are some of what may be considered commercial music business success. However, this should not be confused with what you may consider music business success.

Remember these words as you begin to question why you pursue your goals and objectives in the music industry. Remember these words when you cross the path of discouragement. Remember these words when you want to give up. Remember these words when it seems like no one understands you. Remember these words when your money runs low. Remember these words when you can't pay your bills. Remember these words when you need to keep on keeping on. Remember to attend music business events such as music conferences and music showcases. Remember to read music industry books, blogs and websites. Remember to build and sustain healthy relationships.

Ultimately, your music business success is defined by you. You have the ability to change and alter at will. It only takes for you to change your mind and action. Your music business success is here and now. Name it and claim it.
