Channeled Music Business and
Production
What I do is very much called
channeled music
business and production because I
am so focused.
Business music is what I do on a daily basis because these
type clients are the ones with money and professional
projects.
The music industry is very wealthy but very
selective on who they actually allow to get some of the
wealth.
You have to be a professional yourself. That means
presenting yourself and your production company as
reliable.
This goes double for producers like myself who operate 90
percent of their business online.
No record label wants to do business with a
producer that is no prepared to meet deadlines. You can't place
music on hold for artist that have to drop albums on very
specific dates.
Knowledge is key too. Sound masking and
knowing your music systems in software and hardware is
essential. Artist will do their jobs and as a producer you must
know yours.
Communication is pertinent also. No messages on hold when
doing business with the big dogs. Don't put music in the
background of your voice messages either.
This information is really great for those that operate
outside the U.S. in BBC nation or the UK.
International money is bigtime too. I make
plenty of money from countries like China and Korea. They all
love music for business ventures they are involved in.
This is one of the reason I treat all my instruments with
care. You never know when you might need a world music sound to
close a deal.
