Building a music career is simple (it's just not easy)

Finding success as an independent artist is not nearly as complicated as most of us want it to be.

Much like any other business, there are some primary truths that are required to turn the dream of being an independent artist into a reality.

First, the fundamentals: have a great product that people want and tell them about it.

Everything else is secondary.

For us, this means making great music and making sure people know about that great music so they can enjoy it.

At its core, it really is that simple.

But simple doesn’t mean easy. In fact, I would argue succeeding in music is far more difficult than many other industries.

When everyone and their brother wants to be an artist, it’s tough to fight through the noise and be heard.

But no one is going to be heard by overcomplicating the process. If anything, overcomplicating it is simply going to serve to make the journey that much more difficult.

Let’s simplify it so we can win.
