It’s been years since I started this journey of life as a musician (Over 20 to be honest).
Most musicians will agree that it’s not an easy road taken and if I had done this for the money then I’d have been a fool a thousand times over. However, I don’t think I have worked harder on any one thing in my life as I do with music.
And now that the computer and the internet have made it possible to pursue the business side of music with equal force, the work load has doubled.
What has been really rewarding to me is that I’ve discovered something inside myself I never knew existed. I have actually started my own business and I like it! Selling my product and building a clientèle one brick at a time has been a lot of fun despite the fact it still remains a second job.
Performing live is definitely the best way to connect with new fans; however, it’s very hard to reach a large mass that way.
And while music is subjective, I am thrilled at the amount of fans that have gotten behind me and believe in my songs as much as I do. They’re the reason I am able to keep moving forward one step at a time.
From a business perspective, the hardest part is letting the world know that you’ve got a great product. Imagine if you could connect with even just 1/1000th of the 6.60 billion people on this planet!
Fortunately, those that have come on board have given me ample amount of strength to believe in myself enough to know someday ~ I just might be able to do it!
