Today every living music legend whose songs still bang in your ear drum made it not because they were born to sing, but by rather doing things differently.
Want to be just like them, or even better? Try these 4 things and as an artist, your music life will be better.
1 : Be Dynamic
There are two types of music fans in this world. Those who like to listen to something new from probably someone new and those who want to only listen to their favorite artists.
If you're an artist that has made a noticable fan base, you must be thinking you're SAFE. No, you're not. You might end up being the Myspace of the music industry. Everyday, something new is happening to music. New artists, record labels, producers and recording and mastering engineers. The question you need to ask yourself is "Can you maintain your fanbase?".
Eventually, the type of fans that always want to listen to music from their favorite stars will channel their music obsession time, money and love to those that move with the trend. People who thought they would never leave Myspace because they could imagine another social website out competing it spend all their time on Facebook. Most of them don't even remember their Myspace credentials.
How to be Dynamic?
Well,
- Follow the TREND.
- Give yourself room to LEARN -- because you don't know it all.
- Don't be AFRIAD to try out something NEW. Try different genres and collaborate with other artists with a different touch.
2 : Be Conscious
As an artist you have to be careful of every move you make because one single disastrous move can ruin you whole career. You have haters, so play the game. Understand why you're being hated and why you're being loved.
You rival musician will probably plan something to bring physical harm to you. Never wait for your beef to get that ugly, because you could die in such unusual circumstances. Reconcile and make it public.
If your celebrity BEEF is not earning you any attention, call it off immediately. You're wasting your time.
3 : You Must Sacrifce
If you’re not where you are. If you’re not where you want to be. If you don’t have what you want, want to have. If you’re not where you think you should be at this particular place. It has nothing to do with the system, but it has everything to do with the fact that you’re not making the sacrifice.
Sacrifice your time and energy to what really matters. The vast majority of artists never give it all they have. You ever wonder why some artists have been in the industry for a long time but their lifestyle is still the same? That's it, sacrificing means you get to do whatever it takes for what you believe in.
4 : Don't Give Up, No matter what.
You're always going to fall ... and sometimes with no one to pick you up. Not once, not twice. What matters most is what you do when you fall. Do you choose to give up or do you choose to pick yourself up and fight on. When you fall, your career devolves into a haunting ground and oftenly, part of what you achieved deteriorates ... fame, money, respect, name it.
You don’t beg average people to be phenomenal. You don’t beg good people to be phenomenal. You just are phenomenal, and you will attract phenomenal.
Every star who has turned their music career into a reliable and successfull business never gave up. The likes of Jose Chameleone, Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine. These artists faced the worst of times, but did that stop them from pushing on? Nah!
