Get A Clue: Becoming The Next Biggest Singer
First if you want to become one of the greatest artist of all times you have got to,”get a clue.” What I mean by that is that you have to go out there and do your research, kind of like what you are doing now. You are reading this article because you want more information. My philosophy has always been if you ever want to be the best at anything you have got to be equal to if not better than those who are already out there doing what it is you are trying to accomplish.
Now, how do you expect me to do that? I’m glad you asked. You have to know what kind of singer you want to be for example; a mainstream performing artist, or an underground independent artist. With both mainstream, and underground you need some basic essentials.
Here are some of the basic essentials, you may find that some of them are common sense but some people don’t understand that you can’t get anywhere without them. For example; vocal training (regardless of your skill level), you need to study the business, take songwriting classes, get a manager, get a lawyer, start recording, and shop your music.
Now, with mainstream after you take those basic step its out of your hands. It’s all up to the major labels if they want you or not. For an underground artist its a little different. After you get your lawyer to copyright all your finished work, all you need to do is make duplicate copies, and distribute them. You can distribute it to mom and pop stores, or directly to your customers. You can also sell them at the shows your manager has set up for you.
Throughout everything you go through on your journey remember one thing,”don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t make it”. Use people’s negative comments as motivation to drive you to the next level. Also always critique yourself, you can even have listening parties to get feedback on how you are progressing. Remember this is a journey and if you are at ground level there will always be people that will try to put you down, but if you stay focused how can you lose. “I may not climb the whole mountain but I’ll die with dirt under my fingernails.”– T.D.
