Music Business -Start at the Top

Many recording artists, music producers, singers, songwriters and music managers want to start at the top of the music business. They think this is their quick way to riches, wealth and untold fame equity. While this may be true for a select few most who take this route are rarely around for any long period of time. There music careers are often short-lived and they have no clue on how to bounce back. Worse yet they now have fame and often loose the money and this is something bad I'd imagine.

There's something that some of us do at music conferences, seminars and workshops on a recurring basis. When speaking we suggest to the audience to look to their left, right, behind and in front of them. We suggest that they look at everyone in the room; we tell them that the people they are most likely to work with (come up with) our the people that are sitting right next to them. Additionally, I ask "why are most emerging recording artists, producers/composers, music managers and songwriters, etc. attempting to start at the top, when the people at the top didn't start at the top?"

Point here is there are enough people who are knowledgeable, have experience and who are eager to assist in the music industry throughout various social networking communities, online forums and music business blogs that you may be able to get it popping despite you living in a rural part of the country or a different country from where the music scene is really flourishing.

Dig into these music business social networking communities, online forums, music industry blogs and groups and contribute your experience, information and music business resources and you'll be surprised how it comes back to you ten fold. It's often what you contribute that determines what you take away -karma. Additionally, there are a number of other resources throughout the Internet that act as gateways to more detailed information about the music business.

Start where you are and grow from there. The road to riches, wealth and fame equity is rarely easy. It requires a burning desire, a practical written plan and that your plan be executed relentlessly daily without reservation. Remember to pick up the pennies, they all add up.
