How do I get started in the music industry?
It’s about attitude and mindset.Let’s dispel a myth musicians are told when we’re starting out.You’ve heard it from famous musicians, label execs, friends and family; it’s a long-standing music industry cliche:“Work hard, don’t give up, and you can make it”.Absolute rubbish.You can work hard at music for the rest of your life and the only thing that will change will be the standard of how you measure success.There’s so much more to ‘making it’ than continuously working hard. What if you spend half your life heading down a path in the wrong direction? What if you don’t know anyone in the industry? What if you just don’t have the talent or haven’t gained the skill required to achieve your goals?There are may aspects needed to get your career to a point where you could consider yourself to have made it, but even then I think it’s subjective - You could feel like you’ve made it as a musician when you gain competence on your instrument, or not until you’re selling out stadiums.This is exactly the reason I started my site Musician’s Map.I’m sharing more than 20 years of hard earned experience through articles, videos, podcasts for free; so ‘making it’ can be something clear that every musician can aim to achieve.No more industry secrets.If you want to discuss this further, join my Facebook group or check out my FREE five step challenge to a clear musical pathway.
