Funding a music record, video, or a project may be financially distressing for a starting musician. Needless to say, it is even more distressing and quite frustrating to get a record deal. As a musician, whatever genre you are into, you will need a fanbase in order to get yourself into the spotlight. Concerts, even mini and low cost ones are still very difficult to manage.
It is very easy and exciting to create music. It comes naturally for many musicians because it is their gift to write songs and produce melodies out of the lyrics using their instruments. But talent is not enough to make it big in the music industry. They need financial and moral support from a good number of people. There are different methods of crowdfunding for musicians.
However, crowdfunding can be really difficult as well because there is no guarantee that there will be enough fanbase that will help in funding your project. If you are able to gather enough crowd, they will be there to support you all the way. They will come rallying down for you just to help you complete your project.
One method is done through the internet, which is probably the best known crowdfunding venue as of the present time. There are already numerous crowdfunding websites reliable enough to get you a record. But this will depend on your performance. You will need to make a record initially so that people can listen to it through the website where you upload it.
Others need not to ask from other people or go to these sites in order to get the needed funding. Some of them simply post their videos on Facebook or YouTube just for fun. Some of them did not even expect they would get thousands or even millions of views. If you can get this much views, you have the chance to grab the attention of huge record labels and earn a deal for yourself.
There had been a lot of artists who had been YouTube sensations that have taken the concert stage already. They received recognition and funding straight from record labels that have also viewed their videos. Some of the videos are not of the best quality but because of the raw talent they have showcased, they made it big in the industry.
Some of the artists that have become online sensations are Christina Grimmie and Walk Off the Earth. Grimmie gained millions of views from her previous videos covering different popular songs until she joined The Voice USA and gained a fanbase from her audition. She got the support of her fans until she reached the finals.
It is a difficult task to please people. But most artists only consider what they have and focus on it. For example, they take the time to mingle with their fans as much as possible through autograph signing or through connecting with them in social networking sites. They often ignore haters and just do what they have to do to make the supporters happy.
If you think your first album was a success, this is still not a guarantee that you will be staying in the business for as long as Madonna did. There is always a possibility of one hit wonders. Nevertheless, keep trying.
