  • Lack of exposure

  • No strategy

  • Impatience

Which most applies to you right now?


Now that you've answered this question. Let's look at the following steps necessary to correct your course into success.


1. Improve Your Music


A fundamental way to improve your music is to make a lot of it. Through repetition you become better. Your music becomes better because you have practiced the art of creating so many times that it's second nature. This will inevitably improve your music. Even if you have 10,000 hours under your belt, the way through failing is in the reps!


Quality of production also is key. Crucial to production is reference mixing. Play your favorite songs along side the music you make. Switch from listening to one element of your favorite song to your current creation. This tells you immediately what parts of the song need improvements.

2. Improve Your Marketing


Marketing is the other side of the music coin. Great product with poor marketing will mostly lead to failure. The visuals, messages, and images matter. First impressions tell what you stand for, what you are all about, and influences the fans thoughts on the quality of your music.


3. Leverage Others Audience


Have great music and clear professional marketing. This will produce success for you. When it comes to leverage others audiences will speed up success. This creates exposure to reach more people.


Collaborations are the center point for putting this into practice. When an up and coming artist is matched with an established one, this speeds up the lesser known artists fame and recognition.
