Life today as a successful musician has it that one must be ready to face whatever fate has coming for him/her. Every faith must be tested after all … when you go through some tough or good time in your music career, lean on the saying ‘all publicity is good publicity’. Well as a musician below is some of most crucial things you must get used to or better still deal with.
1.Media attention
Media can’t help it, but follow your every move especially if your topping charts, got some nude photos, sex tape or some love affair issues that you want gone unnoticed. The press identifies with a trendy artist not one who’s losing the grip at his game…again it’s your responsibility as a musician to stay relevant every day.
2.Haters
Haters are there to hate that’s all they are so good at. Need I say more? No! Just know when you have haters, your definitely doing well and in most cases you got what they can never have…so just do you and let the rest happen as go stronger as what can’t kill you, makes you…you already know.
3.Competition
First off, when you’re on top, many upcoming singers look up to you for a change in their career and they will copy your style or work their way up till they bit you at your own game. One must be relevant, always not taking long without dropping a hit, investing in your music is the way to go for the fans love quality videos and audio production…especially when it’s coming from their favorite artist.
4.Flop/Sold Out Concert.
Working with the best event managers in town is just not enough to have a sold out concert. A musician must work with media and all the advertising agencies, not leaving out social media junkies ---who have hands on deck ready to reach out to your fan on social media. Then last but not least you don’t want to have you’re fans attend a concert full of curtain raisers that aren’t rocking airwaves.
