Funding a music record, video, or a project may be financially distressing for a starting musician. Needless to say, it is even more distressing and quite frustrating to get a record deal. As a musician, whatever genre you are into, you will need a fanbase in order to get yourself into the spotlight. Concerts, even mini and low cost ones are still very difficult to manage.
It is very easy and exciting to create music. It comes naturally for many musicians because it is their gift to write songs and produce melodies out of the lyrics using their instruments. But talent is not enough to make it big in the music industry. They need financial and moral support from a good number of people. There are different methods of crowdfunding for musicians.
However, crowdfunding can be really difficult as well because there is no guarantee that there will be enough fanbase that will help in funding your project. If you are able to gather enough crowd, they will be there to support you all the way. They will come rallying down for you just to help you complete your project.
The best venue for this strategy is through the internet. These sites will help you promote your songs by featuring it into the site and making people listen to it. If it gains enough appreciation from a considerable number of crowd, they will fund your project in order for you to re record in in a better quality audio or make a video out of it to be posted in social media sites.
But others do not need crowdfunding just to be recognized and get funded. There are many other different means to grab attention from record labels. A very classic way of doing it is through posting videos on social networking sites like YouTube yourself. If you gain a lot of views, there is a possibility that you will make it big.
There had been a lot of artists who had been YouTube sensations that have taken the concert stage already. They received recognition and funding straight from record labels that have also viewed their videos. Some of the videos are not of the best quality but because of the raw talent they have showcased, they made it big in the industry.
Some examples of these artists are Walk Off the Earth, Christina Grimmie, and many others. Grimmie even made her videos a platform in joining The Voice USA and made it to the finals. Although she did not win, she still was able to gather a lot of fans trailing behind her and supporting her next projects.
It is a difficult task to please people. But most artists only consider what they have and focus on it. For example, they take the time to mingle with their fans as much as possible through autograph signing or through connecting with them in social networking sites. They often ignore haters and just do what they have to do to make the supporters happy.
Garnering support from thousands or millions of fans and grabbing a record deal are ultimately not enough. There is a struggle of maintaining your status. There will always be better new ones that they can compare to you. So the challenge gets even tougher ones you are already in the industry.
