Not What You Know but Who You Know
- Club Promoters/ DJays: Most powerful way of getting the record heard locally is performing or having a song played at clubs/ events. Club promoters mostly have slots for an artist to perform and DJays may have different times or nights that they play upcoming artist music during a huge party. Industry people unknowingly show face to nightclubs/ events sometimes looking for talent. Let the spin and response speak for itself!!!!
- Local Radio Personalities/ DJays: Most powerful way of knowing what kind of record it is by the requests of the record on the local radio stations. Make sure that the record spins count by having the hot new single mix & mastered and/or copyrighted & registered (MediaBase/BDS). Although local radio is becoming overtaken by other music avenues (Sirius Satellite Radio, Mixtapes, Internet Radio, CDs, I-Pods, etc.); people still tune into the radio for news/event updates. Most radio stations have an upcoming artist spotlight… Get the Shine!!!
- Recording Studio Owners: Most powerful way of meeting other bands, music producers, classically trained musicians, session players, audio engineers, other artist, music business executives by working with studio ownders. This helps upcoming artist to make the connections and gain knowledge on what they need to enhance his/her talent.
- Other Artist: Most powerful way of staying relevant in the music business is through the network of other artist. Being humble and open to work with other upcoming artists will not only build a network but gain information on other networking/ advertising avenues. You can’t get outshined if you’re working together towards the same goal.
- College Students: Most powerful way of having a local hot new single reach other cities and states is through college students. Think about how many college students are always onto the newest and hottest artist/ music. Now think about if they were to take the newest upcoming artist single back home and play it for his/her friends. You have now built a buzz outside of your demography.
