An unanswered question for every aspiring musician is “why do some musicians make it and others do not”. Unfortunately there is no magic formula that every musician can follow in order to make it big. However, there are few a thoughts that can be followed in order to make the best of their musical skills.
1. Find a label or music company that has a large budget to push your music in to the mainstream. However, no matter how much money the label or company has, music can be only pushed so far as to be accepted or rejected by the masses. Therefore it comes down to two things, being able to perform and create great music that appeals to the masses and coming up with creative ways to push the music for the masses to sample.
2. Remember that many people are fans of certain types of music are because that music fulfills some need, want or desire of those fans. Therefore a great part of success is the ability to write compelling songs that fans can relate to and sing along.
3. You should remember that there are no shortcuts to musical success. It all comes down to hard work and writing compelling and influential music. A combination of old school offline promotions and new age digital promotion techniques like downloadable music stores can make sure your music is pushed towards your fans.
4. As an aspiring musician you should beware of the 10 step programs that guarantee success. You should keep in mind that there are no 10 steps to achieving success in anything. There could be as many steps as you want to achieve greatness and most of all remember that hard work and commitment are the two things that will take you to the top and keep you there.
