Listen To My Demo/Listen To My Beats
Listen to 50 Cent “Best Friend”
Why, why should I take time out of my busy schedule to listen to your demo? I don’t underestimate you can find some talent in the millions of people that submit demos and beats, but it’s not likely.
Technology is making it cheaper for individuals to think they can be the next big producer or the next big recording artist, but you need to honestly wake up! You have a few things going against you:
1-The music industry is in a slump. Marketing budgets are getting cut, artists are getting dropped, music employees are getting laid off, and artists are receiving less exposure before their albums are released= lower sales.
Note: less exposure is not the only reason for lower record sales.
2-What makes you hotter than the demo that was given to me a few minutes ago or better yet a few seconds ago?
3-What are your strong points? (What will set you apart from everyone else and what are you plans?)
Becoming a recording artist or a producer should not be the focal point of your life. We as a society, as humans have many options to choose from, some more than others but you get the point. Let’s be honest becoming a great artist or a great producer, can be compared to becoming a major league athlete. Out of the millions of people in this world only a few actually have the talent to make it.
Don’t become discourage, just focus your energy on becoming the individual which will run the record label or own their record label. Go to college, read books, get an internship…
Note: This applies to everything you do in life. You should have a clear understanding of anything you are getting involved in.
So next time you ask me to listen to your demo, I will do it gladly but I would rather you tell me you have a business plan or marketing plan you would like to present to me.
