Advice to Talent posting music and videos online:

Advice to talent that have posted music online, and wants to get heard by industry people and also get new fans: Try your best to build a real organic fanbase...that is key. Being good or very interesting, or being able to "touch" someone emotionally (good, bad, funny, sad, etc.) with whatever you are doing is key too. You can have money behind you, a big name producer, and a $40,000 music video... but it will not be as effective as having that intangible x-factor that draws people to you and your music. Get people talking about you online, on YouTube, on Facebook...and the industry will soon want to know you too. If you can build a great following - web trending reports with big numbers of legitimate followers and channel subscribers to your "movement"...then you are probably on your way to some very good opportunities...all from building a "buzz" online. A few mistakes and misconceptions that up and coming talent need to know about the industry: 1. Just because someone, or a small company comes along and has money to invest in you, that does not mean that they have the "know-how" to really launch your career. 2. Some artists start believing their own hype. And the "hype" was actually created for them... to have attention drawn to them. 3. Getting a record deal is just the beginning...and is basically another step to becoming a successful recording artist. Some don't realize that after you get signed, now you have to go and compete against Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, etc. What Is A Manager? Basically, your manager is the "point-person" who will help counsel, direct, develop and (expectantly) advance your music and entertainment career. Your manager will be the main person who guides your career moves - serving as your advisor, negotiator, and representative. This person is very important because the way that your management is perceived within the industry can have an effect on the way you're received by other industry insiders.
