J Foss Presents Making Money In Music!
My name is J Foss and i have been a recording artist out of Detroit, MI for 7 years. If you ask anyone who has been successful in the music industry they will tell you that it takes hard work and longevity and most of all you have to know people. J FOSS:
I was CEO of my record label Camp 4.5.20 for 5 years and I’ve learned an awful lot through the ups and downs of this journey. One valuable lesson is “Don’t spend all of your time making music.” If you are IN the Music Business you have to be IN the Music Business. Follow me? Go to the library and read books working on perfecting your craft both business and marketing. If you listen to your local radio station you might hear a few songs and just shake your head because you absolutely hate it! That’s because the talent doesn’t matter as much as you may think. You have to have one song that stands out and is easy to sing. If you have that song STOP RECORDING NOW! You need to get the song professionally mixed and mastered and push that single to all your local DJ’s, Club Owners, Magazines, Producers, Civilians, People of Power, etc. These are what i like to call POWER MOVES. I have taken baby steps and that equals a baby buzz. If its 300,000 people in your city and you pay $200 to be on a show where only 50 people are likely to show up i suggest you take that $200 and invest in mixing, mastering, and pressing up your CD. 50 people would’ve saw you in concert and probably never remembered you because you were on the card with 20 other artists vs. 100 Cd’s retail and radio ready that you have an option to sell or get your song played anywhere you send your music. They will respect you because your product is PROFESSIONAL. Making Money In Music:
In a time where everything seem to be getting worst and people are struggling so much, my goal is to be happy. That includes for me; being in my career field that i want to be in, eating what i want to eat, working out to look good, and having a good relationship with my significant other and God.
In contrast i quit the job that i had for 5 years to pursue my career in music. I was sick and tired of working a housekeeping job that i was constantly getting rode by my boss when i answered my phone for business or even took a longer break because of my profession. I had to quit! Now i am part owner of Stash Studios, I am a certified recording engineer/producer, I throw my own events in where i am branding my name, and i am just happy with my decision TO BE HAPPY. I havent quite made the money that i wish to make but at the end of the day its not all about that!
