Building your career as a musician is uniquely different and demands an altogether different attitude and approach. Paying companies to get the privilege of competing with one another is an outdated trick in the realms of music. This no longer works.
Real life experience shows us that connecting with fellow musicians and supporting each other instead of competing is a better way to empower your career. This method helps put the artist first. Educating yourself is far more important than just throwing money to further your dreams. In this way, you can grow your career significantly. Here are five ways to invest your time and money to grow your career in a better way.
Tips to grow your career as a musician
-Never miss a local networking meet up. Connect with people and learn new knowledge about the industry.
-Find out local venues that are the right place for your music. The gigs you get in this way are worth your time.
-Spend some time on a regular basis to research small local festivals. Browse through their websites and find out if any of your known people are involved. If not, find out who is involved and try to connect with them. If you volunteer your time regularly to show up during local events, you can find enough opportunities to reach out to the organizers of events and grab some chances to perform.
-Buy some self-education courses or books that can teach you the skills you will need to market yourself in a better way and grow your career.
-Never hesitate to connect with and support fellow musicians. When you work together with them, you can pool your knowledge and resources for the purpose of empowering the entire community. It is important that you capacitate your community to be less vulnerable to the companies that predate on you. These companies are only interested in your money than your success.
