If you've been writing and playing music as long as I have then I'm sure you're aware it can be tough at times to move forward. The music business can be daunting for a variety of reasons. For one, there isn't really a clear path to follow. Unlike other professions where the steps you need to take are more clearly laid out, in the music business there seems to be a lot of uncertainity about what steps you need to take and it can seem like a lot of success that happens is a result of luck. If you want to be a doctor you go to medical school and at the end of the road, if you pass your exams, you will be a doctor. If you want to become succesful writing and playing music it works a little differently.
Although I think there is some luck involved in terms of musicians who become extordanarily succesful playing music, I think MOST of the success that happens for musicians is a result of TALENT and INFORMATION. I can't help you with the talent aspect of your music. But if you're interested in learning how the music licensing business works and learning what the exact steps you need to take are I CAN help you.
Why Music Licensing?
Whatever your goals are as a musician, whether you want to become the next U2 or Bruce Springsteen, or if you want to simply be able to wake up every day and make a living playing music, it's important that you have success. Success, even small success, breeds more success.
When I first heard my music on national television it was thrilling beyond words. I was literally jumping up and down I was so excited. And I can remember thinking that it was only a matter of time before I became as famous as Coldplay. I've always been just a little delusional at times!
Although I've yet to become a household name, that single step forward gave me the confidence and inspiration to keep going and over the years I've accumulated a variety of accomplishments that I'm very proud of. The success that I had came at just the right time and without it, I sometimes wonder if I would have kept going forward.
I wish I could somehow package and sell you that feeling that comes with getting your music on Television. Obviously I can't, but what I can do is provide you with the information on how I did it and how you can do the same.
There is a real shortage of education for musicians on how to navigate your way through the music licensing business.
