The People Behind the Music

A lot of people get up every morning and go to work and hate it. Other people look at their job as just a form of income. I personally would hate that. In high school around career day the teacher would have us go through a career test to help us figure out what we should be once we grow up. This test was based off your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. You would be amazed how many people need to sit down and take this same test in their adult years. It will kill me to work for just a stinky old paycheck. The Music industry is an industry that you would have to love to get in. To stay in it for years you would have to freaking love it. Is there a career test out there to tell you if you could make it in the music industry? NO!

That’s what makes it exciting. You just never know. I will say there are lots of positions in the industry beyond just being the artist that one can consider. Lets take at some position out there for the person that wants be involved but cant sing or dance.

Artist Management is a great position to consider. This position that manages, maintain, and guides the artist through their career. You can live hopelessly through your artist.

AR representative is also pretty huge. This person normally works for a major record label. They scope out the world for new talent. This person gets to discover the next Prince or Michael Jackson.

Creative director this person is literally a visual artist. They come up with creative concepts for the artist. These are the brand builders. They create the image, attitude and persona of the artist at hand.

I love this industry so much I could go on an on. But you get the point. You do not have to be the singer or dancer just to get in this industry. In all actuality the people behind the music get paid more that the ones in front of the camera.
