Do you want to be an independent recording artist? Gig, tour, write or record? It can be really overwhelming and hard to know exactly where to start. Here are the first 3 things that you need to do to kickstart your career.
1. START! Starting can be the hardest thing to do but if you don't take the plunge and start, you will wait until you think you're ready or good enough and that will probably be never! So start! Start with the easiest thing that doesn't cost any money! Start building your profile. This means getting out there in front of anybody and everybody. Create social media accounts and start uploading pictures and videos, start live streaming. People need to know who you are!
2. PLAN! Create a plan. Think about what it is that you want to achieve as an artist. Do you want to gig or perhaps tour? or are you wanting to release music? Or perhaps you want to do all of the above. Spend an hour creating a plan that sets out what you want to achieve and stick to it.
3. SAVE YOUR MONEY! Whether you are a full-time artist or you have a day job, or casual income, you will need to assess your budget and save a portion of it. Open up a savings account and call it the "Music Account" this will be the investment into your business.
Work on these 3 things and before you know it, you will have started to grow your profile, meaning people will start to know who you are, you will have a plan to work to and you will have the money to invest into your business.
