A bit of music advice so you can elevate your music career more quickly…or at least not sabotage it.

You probably know by now that it comes with a bit of insecurity and too much alcohol and opportunities to make a complete fool of yourself, not to mention…a possible chance to sabotage your music career! To make sure you don’t do anything that could be detrimental to your career, here’s a list of advice for new musicians to make sure you are on your way to success:

Don’t be afraid to ask!

What’s the worst thing that can happen, that you’d get a no? You can handle that! You’re not made of glass. But in case you are fragile, then…

Get as many “no’s” as possible

Getting at least one rejection a day. This can toughen you up and help you in many ways (like knowing ways to improve your work, your approach, etc) than just clenching your teeth in a corner and waiting for a big miracle to happen.

Miracles don’t happen…

You work hard to create these miracles. No one’s going to save you or offer something life-altering without you doing hard work. Not even if you’re talented.

Learn the Business of music

Know the legal stuff, learn how to draft contracts, write good emails, basic accounting. You need these things so you won’t be exploited and so that you can maximize your potential to make money and a career out of your music.
