BEING AN ARTIST

Becoming a great music artist obviously requires great music and artistry.

It is easy for modern artists to lose sight of this when faced with the many challenges of “making it” in today’s industry.


Before you consider releasing music or hope to build a fanbase, ask yourself these questions: What are you all about as an artist? What is your artistic voice and vision? Why do you create music? Why would an audience want to listen? 

 

Always keep developing yourself as an artist. This is where you should always start from, and always come back to.

BREAK THROUGH IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

The concept of "breaking through" is an outdated goal for today’s artists. We offer a new modern way for artists to visualise how the industry operates and the basis for building success in the real world. 

FIND YOUR ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE VOICE

Finding your artistic and creative voice is the path to your own original musical uniqueness as well as giving your audience and  listeners the authentic powerful connection that will build a career-long fanbase  

SONIC IDENTITY - ARTIST'S SIGNATURE SOUND

If you don’t have a clear sonic identity and signature sound then you can’t build a fanbase. Having your own sound is vital for attracting an audience. It makes you identifiable and communicates to listeners what you are all about as an artist.
