OPPORTUNITY & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Is there a recipe for music success. Can artists apply a one size fit all strategy?

My clear declaration on this heading is no. Each country has its own demographics, taste for music and genre. Are the success stories a tailor fit way to make it as a musician within this system? I would say yes to that, it facilitate the struggles, the courage, the spirit of music and the business of music. The term testimony declares victory and success. And for musicians who don't have a record label backing them, then they should embrace these testimonies from other artists. Now remember that in every country there are Royalties Collection Societies. The big problem is that many countries don't have a structure in place to deal with music. Therefore, that is why there cannot be a tailor approach in getting artists there big BUSS. However, with a studied approach they can succeed.

To get your song (s) playing on main stream radio is difficult at times and this even becomes more difficult when we don't make for ourselves a NETWORK of people who have connections. "Music goes out faster with connections." Therefore, never throw stone behind us , after parting company with Producers, Managers, Publishers, Record Labels, and Agents. Each party plays on important role and have a certain level of connections that can be beneficial at time to artists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56YDQWYCYuI
