Two words you should think hard about. Music. Business. If you’re just having fun playing jam nights and amazing your friends with your mad guitar skillz then that’s cool, and we’d love to help you put out a release if you record anything you’re happy with, but to take music forward as a career you’ve got to accept that it needs to be a business. This means effort, people!

First of all, get your music right. This is the first and most important step in your career as a musician. It’s also the fun part. Regardless of anything else, fans will come to you for this reason first and foremost, and if you’ve got a great sound, the battle is half won. The other half of the fight is a dirty slog through the trenches, getting your music in everyone’s ears, making yourself impossible to ignore.
