- There’s a big difference between having a long list of email addresses and having a long list of true fans. A true fan is a fan who will pay to watch you play, buy your album and tell their friends about you. Make true fans, not a list of email addresses. And you know the best way to make a true fan? Play great live gigs and then go and meet the people you are playing for. Make them feel a part of something. For all the digital music revolution talk, your live gig is still the most important things for your band to create true fans.
- You don’t need to get signed to be successful. There are thousands of bands making a living from music right now who exist outside the realms of the major labels. You can be one of those bands. You just need three things – great songs, a great live show and true fans. Keep it simple and you’ll go a long way.
- Despite what you’ve heard, all the old rules of music still apply. You still need a great sound, a great dynamic in the band, a great live show and great fans. The delivery channels have changed but the hunger for great music has not.
