It's tough to be an artist and create an original, unique sound. With the current music scene, it's incredibly easy to just clone whatever is popular and hope that fans will like your music too. 

This might get you some fans in the short term, but in the long run you won’t see the same results as artists who take the time to develop their own unique sound.

By releasing music with an original sound, you can make your music more appealing to an audience that truly belongs to you, rather than ripping off famous acts. You can drop music that is influenced by your favorite artists without directly copying their style.

By doing this, fans of the original artist will appreciate your tribute, while new fans will be drawn in by your fresh take on music.

Listen now to learn more about copying vs. being influenced by, and how you can position yourself to grow your fanbase through original music!
