A Filipino In The Kpop Music Industry?
I am guessing you're from the Philippines, yeah you have a point there that's just how American music are you know. I'm Filipino but I live here in the USA and like you I rather be in K-pop than being here in Hollywood. Anyways yes everyone can be in K-pop everyone can audition no matter what your ethnicity. You just need to worry about how you can get accepted in the audition and if you did how your going to do well in your trainee life and be prepare to embrace Korean culture (well I guess it won't be hard since you like Korean[?]) but you will definitely going to feel homesick so yeah. And yes it would be good that you can speak Korean but can you speak it fluently? The other problem is how you going to go to Korea? to audition cause I am pretty sure Auditioning for YG or SM even JYP the big 3 is only in Seoul, America,and Canada. (Even for me was kind of a problem since I live in Chicago and they only held audition in L.A and New York.) Oh yeah I tottaly forgot you can audition online but last time I check only one person in all k-pop artist got accepted in online audition cause its way better if you audition face to face. But you can do it, just be patient and if it's for you it will be yours.

there are tons of jobs in the music industry, it depends on you and your personality and skills as to where you would be fit in. to start off what do you want to do? studio work: at recording studios you have the studio owner, engineers, maintenance, interns, receptionist. record label: at a label you have the head of the label, a&r, producer, merchandiser, managers, tour managers, promotors...etc. then you have distribution and publishing companies that work with the record labels. entertainment lawyers: all artists will need lawyers whether its for contracts, or defense when they destroy a hotel room. you could also go into working at a venue, as a groupie, roadie, street team, radio dj, video director..etc. there are a lot of jobs, and for the most part you don't really need schooling to get into the music industry, just know the right people. i hope that helps to narrow it down a little
How does Spotify fit into the music industry? How does it compete and complement FM radio and physical/digital releases?
Spotify does not compete with FM radio. We complement FM radio. Its like back in the day, you had your mixtape cassettes that you made but you still listened to the radio. It was just different levels of personalization you were seeking. Even with the playlists, you can skip a song on Spotify. The radio is more of a collective sense of experience because everyone is listening to the same song at the same time. There will always be a place for that kind of social listening.
Music industry or clinical psychology?
I'd have to go with clinical psychologist. The music industry is like the movie industry. There are about 100 people who want to be in that industry, for every job. So it's good to have a back-up plan, and psychology is an excellent one. Working in the music industry, you won't necessarily have that much to do with music. Kinda like the salesman at your local car dealership doesn't have much to do with building cars. Many jobs in the music industry involve a lot of travel. And, um, the industry is not known to foster stable relationships, if you know what I mean. It tends to attract "playas" of both sexes. There's a reason why the old saying is "sex, drugs, rock 'n roll." And that's as true of the opera world as it is of rock or rap.
Who fits the definition of TALENTLESS in the music industry today?
- Justin Bieber - Ke$ha - Miley Cyrus
Where does Punk lie within the current music industry?
I believe a lot of the other answers hit some key points right on the head. What we would think of as traditional or original “punk” music, it really isn't present in mainstream music today. A lot of that is because of not only the industry and marketability, but also the punk attitude and culture of the DIY approach that is such a significant part of the punk scene. Because of the internet, many more traditional punk bands have been able to make careers and tour the world without the necessity of a major label or mainstream support.That being said, punk has influenced many other genres of music including many that are absolutly right in the heart of the mainstream. Both the aesthetic, cultural values, and then obviously sound of the music can be seen and heard all over mainstream music. Pop-punk bands (obviously) like Green Day and Blink182 (Green Day came out of the east bay punk scene where very respected punk bands like Rancid, Operation Ivy, etc came ) Social Distortion, Offspring , many hard rock bands have obvious punk influence. Then you have a lot of pop artists that take from punk as well. We have to remember that punk has been around for decades now so it has had time to influence a lot of misicians. Think about a festival like Warped Tour. That syarted as a ounk festival. Almost every band and artist on it today has been shaped and influenced by punk eventhough it may not be punk per se .There are many pop artists where the punk aesthetic and sound is used constantly. I know this is a little old(first one that came to mind) but think Avril Lavigne. She was marketed as a punk rocker and more than the aesthetic, the songs even had obvious influence too.So to answer your question, I would say punk rock in the traditional sense is not present in the mainstream, but it's influence and many aspects of the culture and sound are seen all over mainstream music. Without punk, a lot of mainstream music would not exist. And any genre with about 40 years under its belt , is going to be seen in many many artists at this point.
How much does the U.S. music industry contribute to the overall U.S. economy? What percentage of the U.S. GDP would it be?
A2A “How much does the U.S. music industry contribute to the overall U.S. economy? What percentage of the U.S. GDP would it be?”To provide a more useful answer, here’s where you can locate information yourself. The US Bureau of Economic Analyses[1] provides detailed time series of industry data. Go to GDP-By-Industry, and under the “Information” heading find motion picture and sound recording for the years you want.You may also want include the impact of live performances - that’s under Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation, listed as Performing Arts.Using these numbers as is will give you an upper limit estimate, because they include some non-music activity; Performing Arts includes Spectator Sports and Museums, for example. But you can pretty quickly conclude that in recent years music contributed something between 0.003 -0.006 % of US GDP.If you need a more precise estimate, seek out industry group numbers (such as museums, sports,. music publishing) and use them to further refine the data. But the BEA data shows where music fits into the big picture.Footnotes[1] U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
