Today marks the last day of profit from passion, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't still love to hear your comments and ideas...keep on sending them so we can all continue to learn!
The music biz can be tough especially if you're a musician trying to make it big. If you play for fun, chances are you've already looked into lining up gigs in weddings, churches, bars and other venues. You've probably also considered teaching lessons and subbing for other musicians. But there is one more big way you can profit from your music passion.
With T-roy in the music biz, I've had to learn my share of "how things work" in this market. My biggest lesson....the work behind the scene!! One of the hardest challenges for a musician is being their own booking agent, manager, marketer, etc. It takes a lot of energy to manage the business side of music in addition to writing, recording, gigging, etc. We've looked for local agents and managers with no luck so I've become somewhat of the band booker/manager/marketer. I've asked this question a thousand times, "with the amount of musical talent in this area, why can't we find someone in this nitch?"
Soooooooooo, if you're a music lover and this is your passion, I see a huge opportunity for someone to develop this type of business here in Lafayette, LA. And just in case you get this post before 6pm today, here is a little tip for getting started!! Hopefully I'll see you there!!
