The Musicians Today Video

Became a professional musician today isn't easy, and really

never has been. In this era dominated by the communications,

to became today a successful artist is necessary to be

prepared in many ways, i.e., well-instructed artists have a

better chance of success in this changing and competitive

environment. Often isn't enough to be "only" a musician and

this is true particularly for indie musicians whom are in charge

of manufacturing, promoting, distributing and selling

their records.

Many musicians in a wide range of artistic trends are taking

control of their careers and they are taking advantage of it.

They are realising that the major labels (and indie labels too)

do not necessarily know the best way to put their music out

there. So in my opinion is very good that musicians take control

of their music, recordings and image, because know their own

music and very often the great and innovatives ideas are wasted

because of label politics or they simply are not understood.

Of course, independent music is not new at all, but it has turned

out an increasing practice by many talented musicians around

the world. In this digital era, the resources used in creating and

distributing music are cheaper than in past decades. Today, they

haven't problems to turn their musical ideas into professional

recordings, so these problems already do not exist. Now, it's not

necessary to get a record deal to begin a musical career what

music industry people think that the market offers more than

people need. I do not agree with that idea and I think that's not a

bad thing, because allow many more alternatives for listeners that

don't like the "product" that record companies are prepared to give.

By "other side", as those filters don't exist, many music go live with

not enough good management, but everybody is free regarding what

to buy or not to buy (...or simply what to listen).
