David v. Goliath

It’s the classic story of  David v. Goliath, William Hung v. Simon Cowell, Big v. Small…

Who doesn’t like rooting for the underdog?

For the past decade major labels have seen the writing on the wall and chose to continue on their path. They chose to ignore advances in technology and changes to consumers’ tastes, engage in legal battles with individuals and file sharing sites, charge $18.99 for a CD that cost $3 to manufacture, and attempt to maintain their suffocating grip on the recording industry while paying musicians pennies per song or album. Labels may have helped to promote musicians in the past, but a model that is focused on money first and foremost and not on the music is a losing proposition — especially for musicians.

The music industry is undergoing unprecedented change — labels are struggling to monetize music the old fashioned way and technology has empowered aspiring musicians who may not have been given a chance and democratized the channels of communication and commerce between musicians and their fans.

Now aspiring musicians have the chance to make a living making music.

Get organized.

Stay focused.

Start making a living doing what you love.
