6/10 Helpful Tips To Move Your Music Career Forward.

Grand rising aSa! We're more than halfway there. This is the sixth of 10 helpful tips to consider on your music career journey. Tip number six is to Make A Plan.

Explanation

Just like in tip five, this tip may sound obvious to some artists, but again, in my 13 years of experience working with indie artists, most times the artists' plan is to release song after song until one of them is heard by someone who will sign them based on pure talent.

Consideration

In tip five I suggested you set an end goal and identify at least 3 other artists living your end goal. Study their career journeys and reverse engineer the path they took to achieve the goal. You can try to reach out to the artist or someone close to them for guidance and mentorship.

Keep in mind that if you reach out and don’t get an answer or worst, get rejected the first time doesn’t mean you should give up. In 2007, a young unsigned J Cole was disrespectfully rejected by Jay-Z, then literally became the first artist signed to Roc Nation in 2009.

Explanation

This may sound obvious to some artists but in my 13 years of experience working with independent artists, most of them have short-term goals such as “quitting your job” or “releasing and performing your music”, but they haven't set an end goal.

Consideration

Take a moment to imagine what would be the best possible outcome for you and your music when you're older and achieved what you wanted to in the entertainment industry. Try to identify at least 3 artists who are living your end goal.
