So, you want to be a professional musician. You get the basics of learning an instrument, writing songs, putting a band together, rehearsing, recording, and all that, but how do you actually get people to start paying attention, let alone paying money, so you can turn that into a career as a musician? Great question! We spend TONS of time focusing on record releases here at ArtiSans Label, but if you’re just getting started, that can seem a long way off. Read on to get some general advice on how to stand out as a musician and get noticed.
- Be different so you stand out
- Craft and share an engaging story about your process or journey
- Rehearse, book gigs, and perform live
- Build your own website to control the narrative
- Collaborate with others to share exposure
The best part about getting started is that you can do all of this at the same time. While getting better at your craft, you’ll also get better at promoting yourself and building relationships that will benefit you for years to come. The most important thing you can do is consistently keep at it, put the work in, and keep improving.
