Indie Artists: Remember To Network

You never know who is who in this industry.
You never know who knows who in this industry..
You never know who is going to take you where you need to be in this industry...

                                          Slim and Vernon Brown (Cash Money's Attorney)


I encourage anyone trying to make it big in this industry to get out and network offline! Take the picture I have above for instance. If you did not do your research on Cash Money records you would not even know that Vernon Brown has been one of Cash Money Records' lawyers for many years. What if you walked right past him and he happen to be scouting for new talent that day just for the heck of it. Do your research and learn what roles people play in the music industry. 

Go to as many music workshops as you can and try to stay active!
Even if you can't afford to go try to attend free events or offer to volunteer and help out in exchange for attendance. Where there is a will there is definitely a way!
You always want to set yourself up to be in the right place at the right time!
Always have a few copies of your demo with you when you are networking! 
Drake said he had hit songs on his demo...he was right...what are you holding on to?
