Bring your A game

Real quick, a lot of people do music these days. A LOT. Everyone has an artist or is a beat maker or a producer or a DJ. Being that there is no real board certification in this industry anyone can step up and say "I Am" and "I  have" yet are not and have not. The advent of technology has allowed people to work from home and create this fairy tale world and make people believe there story is so incredibly important that they need to be heard, which is only human nature. Fine I get it. Just bring your A game. This market I so saturated that the turnover rate almost exceeds the employment rate. 
Thus the need to raise the bar. 
Ok so you think your different , well so do the million plus Americans pursuing the exact same career path that you are. 
Here are a few tips to "rise above" so-to- speak.
1. Take vocal/instrument lessons along with music theory.
2. Surround yourself with Positive hard-working individuals Studying the same field as you.
3. Network your ass off. Then network some more.
4. Promote. People won't know what you have unless you show them
5. Don't push 100 songs. pick one and go with it. 
6.Foot work. Get out and grind by covering all the areas that you haven't .
7. Don't ever let anyone convince you that it will not work.
8. Start school and study a second career to supplement income because music is an expensive hobby and a very good paying hobby once you're established. 
9. Only work with artists that you like and do things that please you . Use both your heart and your head.
10. Give back .
people love to buy but they hate to be sold. If they can independently identify your character then the product sells itself.
11. Wash.Rinse.Repeat
