Producers’ valuable input

There was a time when studio producers played the part of frontline A&R, spotting new songs with potential and putting their money where their mouth was by making the most definitive possible orchestration and production of that song.

Most people are funny about money and a lack of willing to invest simply shows a lack of care in your career. What you might not imagine is that the same goes for other people who can make money out of you. If someone doesn’t want to invest in you, it may be because you don’t appeal to them or they are the wrong person. The only way to find out is to talk to people, take their feedback, be honest with yourself and to keep following your instincts and believing in yourself.

Few people can see a hit song in its inception, however those people that can and are in a position to take action will be the music moguls of tomorrow.

If you know what to ask of people who can help and work out what to expect from them, artist services that distribute your music, plug you to radio, get you in the press and organise any needed production, mixing, use of good contacts or feedback are worth investing in.

Many people can write, play and perform good music, but the key might be in whether or not you make the right choices. There’s only way to find out. Go for it with your ears and eyes wide open.
