You're an artist...you are supposed to make music right?
You are supposed to make music for people OTHER than yourself.
I bugs me when I see indie artists with 15 mixtapes and no fans.
What is the point of having a bunch of mixtapes when no one has heard the first one?
I think that indie artists should out one or two QUALITY mixtapes or a few songs, and focus on building a following so that there will be a demand for their music. Indie artists don't seem to want to take the time to build a buzz and I do not understand why that is. In order to get a record deal or gain some notoriety people of importance have to know who you are and they will only know who you are through a genuine buzz.
I say GENUINE buzz because it is so easy to fake the funk these days, especially online.
Stop Jumping Ahead Of Your Career!
Put out new music when the time is right...after you have a descent amount of hits and feedback.
Putting out music without hearing from fans with not enable you to grow as an artist.
Fans will give you the constructive criticism you need to propel you in the right direction musically.
1. How many hits did you get on your last mixtape?
2. Has it reached it's full potential online?
3. Did you get a lot of feedback?
4. Have you promoted it online and offline?
