How Musicans are making it !

 
Singers and artist get discovered in a variety of ways in our society. Just by creating your own youtube account with videos of you singing variety of songs and maybe some of your own music can get you discovered. Everyone is on YouTube, its a huge hit for music. For example, our teen big hit Justin Bieber got discovered on YouTube by Usher. Now the nation has been swept with "Bieber Fever". It's a deadly disease that has young girls falling head over heels for Justin Bieber.
 
Being an artist, there's several things you need to do before marketing yourself as a musician. First off, you need to classify your music. Usher is a famous R&B singer, and you will find his music on R&B stations and categories. Then create yourself several social websites like facebook, twitter, instagram etc. It's good as a artist trying to make it to build a fan base. Your fans would like to be inform on your life and what your doing with your career and life. It's important to network as much as possible. Start off at local gigs doing open mic night. This will help with building your fan base and getting your music spread by the word of mouth. Maintain a database for contact, give out email address and mailing address. This is a great way to see how your fans are responding to your music. After you do the local gig scene for awhile, try to open up for a bigger band, this way you'll get yourself a larger audience and promote your music to people who may never even heard of you. Invest in good social relations, any media you can get is the best for your band. Photographs, newspapers, interviews. Then record a demo, the better the demo the higher chance it will be networked.
 
One major example of musicans starting off small and trying to make it big in the world is the band ALL TIME LOW! All Time Low started off at local gigs and doing open mic in our every own Baltimore city. I remember when they were passing out flyers at White Marsh mall trying to promote their band and get a larger fan base to know their music. After all their hard work, they finally made it. All Time Low is actually a huge band across the world now. I believe if a artist works hard enough and is talented enough, they can make a name for themselves.
