The Secret Behind Building a Meaningful Music Career

What do you think makes one out of thousands of upcoming artists “break through”? Is it luck? Genius talent? Maybe that artist is simply great at networking? These are some of the typical answers that come to mind when I ask upcoming artists this question. 


But that’s not even remotely true and here’s why:


Success doesn’t magically happen overnight, simply because you get picked by a big label or supported by a famous DJ. Talent is important, of course, but without a proper strategy and the right mindset, it won’t get you anywhere. 


Here’s what works instead:


To build a meaningful music career, you need to set goals strategically and make the right moves towards achieving them - every single day. This is only possible if you take the time to assess where you are and how you can get from point A to point B.
