Your role in the artist development showdown is going to have to be one of being prepared. You know how many artist press kits, bios, and cd,s that I have sorted through and wondered and still do, if people are just not putting any effort into it or are they just clueless or just plain some of both? In order to gain access to the heavyweights in the music business, you will have to have a genuine look of already obtained success. This comes from demos that are “knock your socks off” good, from press kits that really create an image, that specifically being yours, and a marketing approach that says “We have arrived.” How do you do all of that? Well at ReelMusician.com we always make it our priority to make sure that any press kit or master quality song demo is top notch – no excuses, just top notch. We do that by simply using the best and so should you. We have partnered with Chris Huston on master quality song demos. Chris Huston, and you probably already know the name has engineered and/or produced War, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Blood, Sweat & Tears, James Brown, Van Morrison, Eric Burden, Mitch Ryder, The Rascals, Wilson Pickett, and we haven’t even mentioned probably another 40 -50 top name acts. Get the picture? If you want to gain attention from music business insiders, than you will have to look like you have already arrived.

So while on the surface it might look like that artist development is a company taking a potential artist and working with them throughout the artist development process, it’s really you taking control of your career by implementing key artist development processes and connecting the dots on the front end. Who else do you think is going to do this – some magical and powerful music exec who knows nothing about you is just all of a sudden going to notice that you haven’t really been doing a darn thing about your career, but he or she is just going to say the word and bam you’re a star? Let’s get real. You are the key to artist development from the start and throughout. Nobody knows your styles, your look, your comfort levels with certain styles of music, stage image than you. Anybody can be an expert in this field, but nobody knows you like you – So get involved in your own artist development.
