you need to mastering in rythm skill and also good melody. All professional
musician they're willing to learn and work hard with their instrument. In
learning music you must enjoy at all things you learn and don't be stress
because if someone stress when learn music, actually they are not really
passion in music. Comfortable is very important because when you play your
instrument and you feel uncomfortable for sure the technique is wrong, that’s
why you must choose the best music tutor for guide yourself. Without wasting
time, i will explain about how do you intend to move forward in today's fast
moving pace and rapidly changing music industry landscape ?
First of all, my point
is must create a website because it is easy to people who wants to hire you.
Just put all your biography, contact information and also can put your songs
that your fans can download from the website. Make sure you put a nice picture
that show the image you wish to convey. As example, you can spread out the
website through social media. Then, get on social media like Facebook,
Instagram, and Twitter because after register your social media account, you
can upload your video cover. Social media also can make live video on Facebook
and Instagram so, you can play live perfomance in front of your followers and
fans. Create unique hashtag in Twitter so, people will familiar with your own
hashtag. Statistic shows that average of all music artist is on Instagram. Like
example, Asad Motawh, Aiman Tino, Najwa Latiff, and others. This show that
Instagram also can be a part of Music Industry for new generation.
Beside this, place your song in a
music sites example likes Soundcloud, Spotify, and iTunes. This will be the
best way if your fans wants to hear your music when they want to. The benefit
is you can take the royalties from this and it can make your own profits. As
example, everytime that someone play your song, it will be count to your personal account and the authorities
will pay for you. On the other hand, get your own Youtube Channel. In this new era,
Youtube is still the #1 streaming music services on the internet. You must
believe that you need Youtube to get started but first don’t think about your
subscribe because it will increase when you frequently upload your video performance.
Put your own music video so, this will be a great opportunity for newcomers. In
fact, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes and Ed Sheeran also a Youtubers.
Next, promote your music to radio. The reason why radio is important is because it provides a human connection between your music and the audience involved. Radio is where the music curators grows, and where most people still discover new music. First step you need to join the University radio because it control the function as a training facility for the next generation of broadcasters, these stations feature indie music much more outstanding than commercial radio. You can choose which station you prefer and just ask when you contact them. If you confused how to send your music, do not attach the file in your email. Instead, ask if they prefer links to digital tracks, downloadable albums, or physical CDs that are sent to them. Their response is your open door to get your music in front of fans. Radio promotion is a impressive way for you to build your audience base, network, grow your connections with music industry professionals and curators, and support of your music brand.
From my point of view,
you can use Bloggers to promote music. Nowdays many updated media and news come
from blog. It because of bloggers user are from younger age so, your music to
bloggers is your ticket to exposure and You never know when a new fans will
read a blog post from 2 years ago. It happens all the time. For example, your
admire fans will read and stalk all about you either a new post or old post.
You should find a few common
threads and facts that will help you pitch yourself better. Then, do some
research to find blogs that cover your type of music, and send personal emails
out to the bloggers. If there any interesting stories about your new album,
song, or tour? Having a unique story will definitely help you stand out from
the thousands of other musicians releasing an album. Remember, it’s all about
create a relationship.
Apart from that, collaborate with other musicians is a good idea to move forward in today’s fast moving pace. Collaboration is an often unnoticed aspect of music promotion. You can collaborate on pretty much anything and just make sure you collaborate with musicians whose fans would appreciate your music but make sure choose your work with bands in a similar genre or with similar fanbase demographics. Here is a tips that you can try recording a cover song or two together and release the album or upload on music sites. Your music promotion strategy will be something that will be perfected from time to time, so do not be frustrated if things take time to come together.
In a nutshell, Do not give up quickly: Remember, learning how to promote music does not happen overnight. Give the best work and always learn something new, innovative, and persistent. Probably in the process you will experience some obstacles, but keep your spirit and believe in your own abilities. And if one idea does not work there are always other ideas you can try!
