Thriving artists don’t make art to make money, they make money to make more art.
Jeff Goins
You might hear the words “music business” and shudder. I can certainly relate, but I prefer to make music my business in order to fund personal creative projects on my terms.
The music industry is moving away from gatekeepers (booking agents, public relations, radio, blogs, record labels, etc.) and more towards the DIY (do-it-yourself) approach. This means no one will swoop you up and take care of the business anymore. If you approach a gatekeeper they will most likely want proof you’re self-sustaining before they consider lending their resources.
