New Music Strategies – Are you in the game?

If you are a musician looking for new pathways to living your dream – playing, recording, touring, and being a force of nature in the world with your music, there has never been a better time to be in the game.

Why?  Because the game is being re-written.  The old rules no longer apply, and we’re making up the new ones as we go along.  According to Andrew Dubber, author of a blog called New Music Strategies, it’s time to “stop looking around for the new model for music industry. There just isn’t one. You’re going to have to invent your own.”

I find this incredibly exciting.  If you do as well, I want to talk to you about collaborating.  I say that the successful artists of the future are going to be those who figure out how to collaborate, cooperate, and co-mingle our creative efforts to actually create CULTURE together – communities that work in tandem to create beauty, harmony, honor, vision, love, and wealth for all who participate.

There is strength in numbers, and I intend to be one of the ones who creates alliances and bands together with those who are committed to creating a world that works for ALL human beings and fosters creativity and rewards those who create media that inspires, enlivens, enlightens, and empowers the human spirit.

I’ve got a lot to say about this topic, and will be finding my voice as I go here; first off I want to point you in the direction of a resource that will give you a very well-rounded education into the current state of affairs:  Bob Baker’s Indie Music Blog is jam-packed with tips, tricks, news and information about how to promote yourself as an independent artist, which is definitely the best place to start, for it’s only on a foundation of independent success that any of us can help one another.

So let’s get this conversation rolling!
