Question - Should I do everything to differentiate My Music or should I Work on my Talent and Look?
Answer - The key to working in any environment is to be able to multi-task and work on multiple levels at the same time.
Obviously there needs to be sound rationale behind the logic of what you’re doing but provided that you’ve got a game plan and a strategy for moving forward, it seems like any band should really be working on all three things at the same time.
Something dawned on me yesterday as I was talking to a friend on how to help get his band more exposure online.
He was clearly smart enough to realize that no record company is going to sign him for a variety of reasons and that no booking agent is going to represent him anytime soon - until he can prove that he’s worth a good couple of thousand dollars a show.
He then looked at me and had a massive realization -
“The music industry has really changed!”
It occurred to me then and there that there are so many interesting ideas that can be drawn out between how the web 2.0 mindset is progressing and how musicians need to start thinking if they wish to really build a following both on and offline in the music industry.

It has been a few weeks since I’ve posted anything and today was the big breakthrough day.
Today, I had a moment of what I like to call, “A moment of transcendence” A moment when I finally broke down that big wall of doubt, fear and being blocked up and finally pushed through to the other side.
Yes, this is still a music industry blog so please don’t think it’s a self help site and that I’m about to sell you some lame Tony Robbins book, but what happened to me today is something that directly relates to you, your band and the music industry as a whole.
