Podcast | Ep. 58 - Has Your Music Career Passed You By?

Episode 58 Greetings friends and thank you for joining me on today’s episode! For today’s topic, I wanted to take a closer look at something I think we all wrestle with from time to time. Our age and where we think we should be in our careers. When starting out in music most of us have grandiose dreams of making it “big” and pulling in huge crowds and being big stars. (Maybe just me?) But as time goes on, we may feel like the correlation between our age and our “success” as artists isn’t matching up. Have you ever felt like this? The good news is that you don’t have to. The world today is a new place, even from what it was just 15 years ago. Today you have unlimited ways to find new fans for your music no matter what age you are. Your age and progress can have nothing to do with each other (they never should really) and the internet has opened up ways for us to create, promote and share our music with audiences across the world. It truly is a time for you to make music at your own speed as there is something for everybody. In This Podcast You Will Learn: 1). Some of the common misconceptions we tell ourselves as we get older about why we don’t make music a priority anymore and why that’s farthest from the truth. 2). How the internet has changed the game in terms of finding new fans and getting your music heard no matter what age you are or where you’re at. 3). How different generations (baby boomers, millennials etc) view the music industry today and why your age has nothing to do with utilizing this new landscape. 4). The importance of affordable technology to record your music and how that has shifted the power back to the artist in terms of making your own music and records. 5). The different ways you can grow your fanbase via the internet by posting your music on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud etc. 6). Why persistence, learning, and passion are more important than ever to remember as an artist and how they will help you grow your music career in this modern age. /// Thanks again for swinging by this podcast! If you’ve ever felt like you haven’t had enough “success” or haven’t “made it” yet and are too old to try then I hope you found this episode useful. There truly is no limit to what you can achieve with your music in today’s market. There is a fan base for everyone and your age should have nothing to do with it. Whether you are a Baby Boomer, Gen X’er, Millennial or beyond, there is a way to find fans who will connect with you no matter where you are. It just takes time, work and patience. Thanks again and here’s to the next episode! Peace N Love, Mike — Questions, comments or concerns? I’d love to hear them!
