Page2radio Get Connected is a quarterly social networking event that brings
together successful music industry professionals (including labels,
publishers, artists, producers, managers, etc.) to provide a casual
environment for introductions with the intention of building positive
relationships and business opportunities. Our last meeting was
scheduled to run from 7pm-9pm and people didn't end up leaving until
after midnight! It is proven that word-of-mouth referrals are always
the best way to develop new business and 'Get Connected' has
demonstrated its effectiveness in encouraging positive relationships,

Watch Out for the Sharks..................

Recorded at Records on The Wall Studios Nashville, TN
Music by Mike Pachelli
Producer Bradley Raines
This podcast is part of Page2 Radio Network

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got”
—Janis Joplin



Watch out!  They’re circling. Slowly. Closer. And they look hungry!  The sharks, that is, the scam-meisters that prey upon naive, ambitious artists who are eager to be published.  It’s often said, and pretty much undisputable, if you swim with sharks you’re bound to get bitten.
But what are you supposed to do?   Stay out of the water?  We all know that the music business attracts all kinds.  And that includes some of the slimiest excuses for human beings that one will ever encounter.  Just like in football, in the music biz the key to having a good defense is to provide a strong offense.  That means arming yourself with knowledge and strengthening the muscles of your business mind.  You must work on your “plays” (so to speak),  to ensure a strong “running game” that enables you to trample the sharks and other bottom feeders.  Business savvy can take years. Remember this – if it seems too good to be true – then it is NOT true!!  Let’s talk about a few particulars…

This Months guest Is Royce Taylor from Nashville TN. Royce talks about some of his experiences with audiences he has work with.

In a game of darts you know the target you want to aim for is the center. It’s no different with your music. You must discover what audience you are trying to attract and to whom your music will appeal. This is called your “target market audience.? To establish a target market audience you must consider age, economic levels, sociologic influences, and cultural diversities.   And don’t try to have too wide of a target market audience.  That may seem like the bigger the bulls eye the easier it will be to hit the center, but the truth is, that if your target is too large you’ll confuse everybody.

To make life easier for your target market audience, anything identifiable with your group in printed form should have your logo (symbol) on it. Fliers, T-shirts, hats, letterheads, business cards, tapes, coffee mugs, and CDs should bear your own trademark.  Corporations spend millions of dollars getting you to recognize their logos.  This is called ‘branding.’  Think about the NIKE logo and you’ll know what I mean.  They have branded so perfectly that now they can run commercials that never mention their product.  At the end of the spot their logo comes on and – BAM – you know it’s NIKE.  Your logo communicates to the public who you are as a professional and portrays the true identity of your business if done professionally.  If it is a clever and identifying mark then you’ll get a ton of mileage out of it.

How do I know if I'm ready for management? When the task becomes TOO MUCH for you to handle on your own...it's pretty simple.

Key Players:
-Personal Manager
-Business Manager
-Booking Agent
-Road/Tour Manager
-Publicist
-Attorney

Whatever you do, don't sign long term contracts!!! Test out the waters for a few months to see if you and your manager are a good fit.
