LW & TAG2nd Music Biz Blog So you are making a go for it in the music industry and looking for success in the music business? Imagining the dream coming true and the success that will follow? Here is a set of questions that is a great starting point: What is your dream? How are you going about defining success? Who do you want to be involved with? Where do your career and yourself in five years? When is the right time to go to that label, that investor, that agent or that next level? And, why is it incredibly crucial to answer all these questions I have just asked about your take on the music business? When it comes to success in music and figuring out what successful careers in music mean to most, very few artists have answered these questions at the beginning or during their careers. The lack of answering, direction or understanding of these simple, yet complex issues can destroy a career, a band or a chance at the dream before an artist or a band is even out of the gate in the music industry of today. Success is the music business is in the eye of the beholder in some ways. But success and someone's place in the music industry can have many different definitions. The average and most recognizable level of success is the super-duper, fame, fortune and wealth beyond imagination. This one is also beyond reason, too. Your calculations for success might be incredibly off, but the delusions are always dead--on. The numbers reported in some entertainment magazines do not give the scope of the amount of income that is really coming in or what that artist actually gets to keep after labels, investors, producers, engineers, graphic designers, distribution, booking agents, stage hands and tons of other people are getting paid.
