10 Serious Music Industry Misconceptions

• Once I have one hit, I will be set for life • I need a label deal so all I will have to do all day is write songs and play gigs • All I need is one major label artist to record one of my songs. • I need a record deal because being indie limits my income. • The more Facebook friends or ‘likes’ I have, the more money I will make. • All I need is a manager or a booking agent. • I don’t need to know the business side of my career. I will hire someone else to do that. • Playing covers is ‘selling out.’ • All I need is a ‘bus gig’ • I’m great. All I need now is to be discovered.
