Choosing any career path is a big deal, but deciding to take a shot at the music industry is
an especially major step. Working in music is more than just a 9 to 5 job - it requires a lot of
commitment, often for not a lot of compensation or recognition. It doesn't help that there
is so much misinformation about there about how to get into the music industry and what

SASA
to do once you're there. So, here we have a few home truths about the music business.
Some are for musicians, some are for people on the business side of things, and some are
for everyone. Some are encouraging, and some fall into the category of reality check. They
all, however, are pretty important to understand.

Knowing A Lot about Music Does Not Mean You Know A Lot about The Music Business
I hate to start out on a negative note, but this one is a really big one to get out of the way
up front - and I say this because this is a lesson I myself had to learn the hard way. Having
the pub music quiz on lockdown, going to tons of shows, being able to rattle off a list of
KLAAS
labels - these sorts of things don't automatically make you able to book the shows, run the
labels and so on. There are practicalities - financial and otherwise - in the music business
that are simply not apparent until you actually have to, say, make sure the manufacturing
is on schedule and the review is really going to be published when promised.
Even if you understand the relationship between labels, distributors and retail or what
have you, you don't really "get it" until you "get it" - and that won't be until you experience
the process from the inside rather than experiencing it as a fan. The two worlds are VERY
different.
Don't get me wrong.
Loving music and knowing a lot about it is required if you want to do well in the music in-
dustry (well, not really REQUIRED ). However, don't enter the music industry with the idea
that a lifetime of music nerd-Dom has made you a music business expert. Not only will you
annoy people, but you'll also be dead wrong and miss out on the chance of really learning
what makes things tick.
Reviews Don't Translate into Sales
At least, not always. Getting reviewed all over the place may be good for getting your name
out there, but even if you can point to 50 reviews that all say your album is the pinnacle of
music making and no one should even try to record again because it's so impossible to
beat, the percentage of people who run out and buy your record based on those reviews is
going to be surprisingly small. Radio play is much more effective at selling music than print
reviews.

Page 8
Page 21
Reviews are really only part of the picture. You can use them to generate interest from labels and
to get shows and so on. But even if you get reviewed in all of the top publications and sites for
your genre of music, don't assume it's time to go out shopping for the fancy new car. If you don't
work to leverage those reviews into something else, they'll just be a minor blimp on the screen.

You Can Still Make Money Selling Your Music

DREAMVILLES Now, here's a controversial one. There is a big debate going on in the music industry about free

GOLDEN CHILD music, and some people believe that all music must be free and that the only way to make mon-
ey is merch and live shows. That's a little extreme. Yes, music sales are decreasing. Yes, free mu-

COZZ
sic is available. The fact remains that your fans want you to keep making music and they are will-
ing to pay you for your services so you can keep it up. The trick is striking the right balance be-
tween enticing your fans with free goodies and offering them the chance to buy quality music at
a fair price in the format that they want.
There's no blanket answer here for what will work for you. Trends in terms of releases and re-
lease formats are different in different genres of music. If your fans want vinyl, save up your pen-
nies and give it to them. If they're all digital, all the time, then give it to them. If they want CDs,
give them to them. (And yes, people still buy CDs. Really.) You have to know your fan base. It
might take some trial and error to find out what works. The one thing you can do, however, is
dismiss the idea that your music is nothing but a promotional item created to sell t-shirts, coffee
mugs and concert tickets.

A Record Label May Be Able to Help You

Since the music industry is in flux, there are a lot of people out there promoting the extremes,
like the idea that record labels have nothing to offer musicians, period. Although there are more
tools and avenues than ever for a musician to release their own music and manage their own
career, that doesnt mean it is the right choice across the board. Not every record label is run by
frothing morons who want to steal your money. The vast majority of labels are run by music lov-
ers who want to make sure people hear your songs and who handle some of the business side of
things that may be tough for you to do yourself.
Some musicians really like taking care of the business side of their careers, and they really have a
knack for it. Others simply want to be able to focus on the creative part. Thats where a record
label can help. Labels also bring a wealth of knowledge of the business, contacts it takes years to
build up and a budget you may not be able to swing by yourself. The DIY route is perfect for some
musicians. The idea that it is for everyone is ludicrous. You need to filter out the background
noise and decide which route is the one for you.

read in between the lines and understand that it's over.
Here are some of the signs to look out for:

1. Level of communication drops. He or she doesn't call you like before anymore. You try to call and the person
feels reluctant in picking your calls. When he or she picks excuse is given. His or her answers are just to put you
off and end the conversation.

He or she can be online for hours without a simple hi or hello to you but will chat others. Your messages are not

tell the difference...You can feel you are not wanted. In the case of sex, the person lies down like a log of wood.
The kiss is like kissing a statue and the hug is like hugging a tree.

NB: Don't just look at one sign and stand on it to break up. Give the relationship your best shot and if the person doesn't make any effort before calling it off.
