How to Build a Foundation as a Independent Musician

How to Build a Foundation as a Independent Musician

The music is the reason you are a musician but the problem we see is there is a lot of posting with listen to me  just think about it............ the same  groups you've joined theres  thousands if not millions of artists they want to be heard too !  In the same groups sites your on a site with artists
and the whole site is just to upload and promote your work but then theres a blinking option for the top artists taking the focus off you and on to the next one !

This type of thing happens everyday the market is saturated with people with no talent
weve seen them on television but the thing is someone liked them enough to put them on
your opportunity depends on it ........

Stepping up your game means thinking outside the box and that means getting some great music recorded




 Chances are your probably doing this all by ear and this is a not going to get you to your goal until you make  plan.



Case Study :Practice dedication, Goal setting
Did you know Beyoncé's father Mathew Knowles quit his job to help his daughter and her friends into the music business ?


If you look at Beyoncé today you would think she couldn't get more famous but the thing is she would not be where she is today with



out the help and support of her parents. She also practices and is always working on music just like Lil Wayne and Drake here she goes again now  she is rapping  and singing and people love her !
We could care less if she has been rumored to have a fake baby or not ...This is publicity and press is what the independent  musician lacks.  The solution to that is building a team of supporters who got your back and will help you build your brand and market and promote.

Listen to their amazing talent they have been getting a lot of
press lately read more on them here

There are some areas to consider which is timing ... there are certain times of year to be putting out music and there is a calendar if you notice there are patterns of when to release and Album the problem is a lot of artists are not running a business they love music but do not think they need to learn the business of anything this is how people fail.


YouTube changed the game there is no excuse an artist should be able to market promote or even run their own channel free so what do you have to lose ? No action means no results even we have to take a break every 3 months but we still plan and cultivate our media even on downtime we try to find alternatives to ensure our shows help our readers we did not offer a platform before but we are almost done with the main site that is like Facebook but you can share your music video blog site wide !

Building a foundation means building relationships ! A lot of artist say "Listen to this!" Check this out !"The truth is  they sound like everyone else until you learn how to stand out your just another musician posting links.

How can an artist build a foundation ?

By planning out their goals and setting a calendar with tasks even billionaires have routines if your a songwriter then don't be afraid to learn the software and technology you should have a dedicated space to write music practice music then after you have practiced and hear yourself on wax then do the final recording mixing services for Tune core are $10.00 we have an in-house professional who can do it major label standard so contact us for more information if your interested , the quality of your music should match image and look of an album this is your brand even if you can pay for major mixing or photography use your cellphone or camera you can borrow and then get professional editing this will prove to work the best.

Is it important to enlist and investor ?

The answer is NO ! the reason why is sometimes in business if you do not deliver you feel like you owe them in some cases some investors want an immediate return on investment so make sure you get a lawyer to look at any contracts you are offered.








The Reality Tv Hustle

if you watched Samira  On Love and Hip Hop New York Season 1 &2 she had the works investors dancers and management ..... We haven't heard anything from her since  ! hey look at Olivia she had it all but then things took a left turn since she has left G-unit things have been shaky with Dollars Unlimited she seemed to be concerned with proving she was a better singer then Erica Mena now Erica has more business then her she doesn't even sing but she knows how to do business she has outlasted Olivia the singer was signed on J records at one point and like Ashanti she was the only girl on the label ?


The record label is the investor period and they want their money back too now we aren't  saying don't sign a deal but being a major recording artist is not for everyone you would be surprised how many never signed a major deal and tour the country .

Attitude is everything !

No one wants to just hear about you sure have a music page but engage with would be fans don't just talk about your shows and CD's  and merchandise
be a friend be approachable and be nice !
E40 for example does features with artists matter a fact one of the staffs family members did a song with him he did pay to play but hey not all people will be on Bet or MTV so make your dream happen the best way you can !



Artist's  like E-40 charge like $5,000-20,000 for a feature money talks and bull shit walks so think about it this way an investor would likely back a release of a song with a major artist endorsement then a no name period.  Nocturnal works with independent artists he is working  with some artists in Arizona and so does Dame Grease multi platinum producer mentor to Swizz Beats creator of endless hits with Dmx and not to mention he has worked with Eve, Jay z to name a few he runs his own record label and he also does shoot professional videos. The striking thing is he is a go getter his team is incredible and we know from experience that a lot of artists don't want to pay for anything ?? it takes money to make money so join is for our special broadcast at 12 pm for free links to music publishing and a great announcement you don't want to miss !
