best way to get your music exposed?

1) make good music
2) learn business
3) take your show on the road!

many moons ago, 2) was taken care of by the record labels. these days of course, there's no money in music so anyone who's remotely intelligent does get involved it lol. i suppose that's kinda why the industry is now full of digital labels, substandard releases and throwaway music.

imho, if you understand business and make good music, you're way ahead of anyone these days. these days it's up to the artist to promote, market and sell their own music to make THEMSELVES a success. one you've got your good music, get a good foundation - get your website, social network site, logo, your own label, all looking wicked and super pro. and if you cant learn how to do it all yourself - pay someone.

then once you've got this, it's all alot easier. you HAVE to gig - whether it's DJing or PA's, and promoters will take you serious, you'll get more bookings. that will be invaluable in helping get your sound out there.

long gone are the days when you can just sit in your studio, lock the door and focus purely on your art. i really wish those days were back, but with that came greedy record labels, artists who had no control and alot of ppl getting ripped off.

take the bull by the horns mate, sit down and write down a list of things you must do to get YOUR product out there. then follow that list to the letter.

good luck man.
