For the Love of Music
“We provide the uncut, jaw-dropping truth
about the Music Business!”
about the Music Business!”
There will be many unpaid sleepless nights devoted to honing your talents, building your support base and developing your product. This business has taken its toll on many relationships because the lifestyle of an entertainer is very unstable. The word ‘Starving Artist’ clearly describes most artist; especially, the unknown aspiring artist.
Some would have you believe that this business is solely based on building relationships and working as a family. Understand that there are still some decent people who are in a position that will help you on your journey. However, don’t forget that there are a majority of individuals will feel that they deserve that break more than you and will sabotage your efforts or worse.
It is the few people who have actually have been treated decent by some in the industry who would have you believe that the entire music business is about maintaining relationships and teamwork.
With regards to relationships from the perspective of those who have felt its unwarranted wrath, it is more like a dysfunctional family with a pedophile uncle that everyone works to cover for and hide their actions. That teamwork will eventually equate to what I refer to as an actual ‘tag team’ against you once you have served your purpose.
It is common for the female artist to have their husbands assume management of their careers and finances. Recently, there was a program on television involving three mature female artist. Two of them were conveniently married to their producers or managers so I could see why they would easily sum up the business as being about building relationships. These two females referenced the importance of ‘maintaining relationships’ in the business by stating that her motive for cutting ties could lead to the end of her career.
This comment was directed towards the unmarried artist who had already expressed that she had been subjected to repeated mistreatment by this man and other men in the business. These married ladies were quick to impress the importance of maintaining a relationship and began questioning the single artist motives for using her business savvy to remove said male artist from works, instead of focusing on her simply wanting to separate herself from further abuse.
In the music business, any male personnel can easily discard their female counterpart but any female would be scorned when she refuses to accept abuse. This being said, those who have been associated with the business for any length of time know how to manipulate.
It is impossible to build a relationship if these individuals only see you as a means or tool and just because you may work with someone doesn’t mean that they own you.
Most are not trying to build a relationship; that is, unless they can take it all (just like someone did them). Because of this philosophy, most artist succumb to the will of their tutor out of fear of displeasing someone who has complete control over their entry into the business. Many artist fall to the way side from drugs, prostitution, etc…
Since this is their way, if someone with clout says that you are bad news then everyone will believe them and block your career. This is why it is important who you choose to work with because they know how to manipulate others when deciding your future. If they cannot have it all, they will gang up on you to take everything.
The love of music and your determination will truly be tested. Most aspiring artist do not comprehend the importance of getting exposure by working with the right individuals, while industry personnel will exploit their lack of knowledge by exposing them to a multiple array of tactic and methods.
Your love for your career must be so strong that when bombarded with those lining up to manipulate against you. Your attempts to survive the business may conflict with others plans and it doesn't matter if their intentions are only to cause you harm as some form of revenge.
