When trying to do music full time there are a few things that we can do as music creators that will set us apart from the rest. The music industry will kick you to the curb if you’re not properly prepared to compete. One major factor that comes into play is whether or not you’re set up on the back end of your business. Creating amazing music will only get you so far if you’re not playing the same game as the major players in the industry. In this video I break down a misconception that most people have about doing music full time as a career and I also explain a harsh truth about the music industry that most of you probably won’t want to hear, but you need to if you want to win the game.
