For years as a lover of all music genres and the
business of the music industry, I know first hand how hard it is for artists to
get their foot in the door. So many negative factors about the industry has
left a bad taste in many peoples mouths and since discouraged our talented
musicians and business professionals from pursuing their dreams. Making a
difference in the music community has always been a lifelong goal for me
because I understand how powerful and inspiring the sound of beautiful music
can be. I want this blog to serve as a tool for emerging musicians, singers,
songwriters and future business moguls as a reference and guide for the
starving artist on how to make it in the industry.
Many of us have heard or know of extremely gifted
artists with the ability to touch lives through song, but yet they have not
been able to land a major recording deal. To yourself you may have wondered
this artist has the whole package, quality music, personality and a great image
so what is the hold up? The frozen truth is that making it into the music
industry has a lot to do with who you know and networking. If this task was an
easy one maybe that talented person would have been signed a long time ago.
Artist have to grasp that utilizing resources is essential to advancing their
career.
In 2007 three business partners understood that
breaking into the industry for unknown artist is extremely difficult and wanted
to connect those artist to already established music professionals looking for
talent. The innovative founders Corey Stanford, Nathaniel Casey and Ronald
Harrison created a brilliant idea of a company now known as Blazetrak.
Blazetrak serves as the first ever online networking for artist looking to get
their music heard by A list celebrities and moguls such as Ruben Studdard,
Matthew Knowles, Big boi and John Rich just to name a few. The company
guarantees that if an artist submits their music through Blazetrak to the
person of their choice, that within 30 days they will receive a personal video
message from the music industry professional giving the artist valuable
feedback and direct exposure. http://vimeo.com/20583755 Although this
idea is brilliant it also comes with a hefty price, Blazetrak translates the
price into credits with one credit averaging 25 dollars a pop. However, it is a
great opportunity for artists that have quality material but no direction.
