Singer Songwriter Survival Kit In A Free World

Singer Songwriter…
Will Sing For Room & Board

I’m gonna make this as simple as I think it can be.

To survive as a singer songwriter…to actually make money and pay your way in life in this world that increasingly expects music to be free you need 3 main things. Consider this your bare bones professional musician toolkit:

  1. Talent…spend your “10,000 hours” and really turn yourself into the singer or player you’d actually want to go see
  2. Passion…you gotta see through struggle…and rebound from rejection…and be willing to work (and wait)
  3. Marketing mindset…if you’re not born with it, get it as soon as you can because it might be most important of the three

OK…there’s your 3 piece toolkit for success as a musician. Tomorrow’s too late to start because it never really gets here. If you’d like to expand on these three points or if you’d like me to, don’t hesitate to leave a comment.

Stay tuned,

  4. Thanks so much for the compliments, Dawn. Glad you dropped by and commented. The comparison to Marty Balin from Starship has happened for me only a couple of times. I’ll look up your son’s stuff online. Not sure how much of an “extra” I’d be for a movie, but I wouldn’t necessarily say no. 🙂

    Anyway…I hope you’ll stay tuned. And just in case you didn’t notice…sign up for emails from me and you’ll get a link to 3 free songs right away.

    God bless,
    Tony
