So you wanna be a star?
Part 1
So, youve made the decision! Youve finished recording your album and its the best – it deserves to be heard by the world and youre deserving of the adulation afforded to the creation of such a masterpiece! Of course, you know in your own mind that it wont be easy to become a star. After all, everyone says that the music business is difficult. But hey, youve got what it takes, youve got talent, and this really is a great album – all your friends and family agree – so what can possibly stop you? What indeed…?
Few people outside of the Music Business have any idea just how difficult it is to survive, let alone succeed, in the ever-changing and unforgiving world of entertainment. Being a musician is much, much more than simply writing, recording and performing.
And few people have any idea of what is involved in the recording of a good sounding CD, of the time and effort involved to get that polished sound that every artist who ever produced a demo aspires to create.
Dont be fooled by inane rubbish like Pop Idol or X-factor. Not only do these sort of programs give a totally false impression...
