Over the last few years of figuring out how to make money with my music through music licensing I've made some important realizations about why most musicians I know don't seem to make that much money with their music.
There are three primary reasons most musicians seem to struggle so much when it comes to making money with their music. Hence the whole "struggling artist" stereotype. The three reasons are:
1) They don't have access to the right people or right information.
2) They do have access to the right people and the right information but they fail to implement what they learn.
3) They implement what they learn in the short term but they fail to follow through in the long term and simply quit before they get their desired results.
My goal with my products and services are to help you address all three of these areas and learn how to MAKE MONEY with your music.The music business is not exactly the easiest business to break into, although with a solid understanding of how the business really works it becomes a LOT easier.
I've often said that getting into music licensing is a lot easier than getting a record deal, and this is definitely true. But there still is an incredible amount of competition when it comes to getting licensing deals. As record labels continue to flounder and fall by the wayside, more and more musicians and industry executives are turning to licensing and publishing as an alternative and/or supplemental revenue stream. They do this for the simple reason that it's a GREAT source of revenue for music. There IS a lot of money to be made and those who understand how the business works are making a lot of money.
Songwriting is an art and a craft. It's a craft that I have a tremendous amount of love and appreciation for. Licensing music is a business. It's the business of taking your art and turning it into something that can potentially sustain you so that you can continue to make music and pursue your passion. If you're only focusing on the Songwriting part of your career you're going to be missing out on some huge opportunities!
On my path to where I am now I've discovered a lot of things about the music business that a lot of musicians simply never learn from playing in bars and clubs. It was during my time at Berklee College of Music that I first learned about music licensing from a couple of my teachers who were actively licensing their own songs. It took me a few years before I really appreciated the information I learned there. My goal is to impart what I've learned so that other musicians can take the information I've learned and apply it in their own lives.
