I'm a music hobbyist, or is it professional? Who knows?

It's happening

Posted by Triented - September 1st, 2016


So my obsession with music is finally paying off, I am gaining more recognition from my local area for my electronic music production. All I really want is to make a living, fame? Bleh, I know fame means money but I don't really care about anything other than this music simply providing all I need to just live. But record labels are now beginning to take an interest in my work, and I only grow increasingly obsessed with the dirty bass to the silky lead. Wanna review? Hit me up!

How do you gain support locally for electronic music? I live in a small town and it's difficult for me to get anywhere music-wise here.

I live 45 minutes away from Dallas, which is home to a LOT of nightlife.
Your best bet in my opinion, depending on where you live; is to go to clubs, and social gatherings that play the type of music you create. Also don't be afraid to show every single person you can your songs in person, and DONT undercut yourself.
Unfortunately, if you live in an extremely rural area with no major cities surrounding... you'll have to go grass roots. If there are other people who listen to the music you make there, start with them. BE their friend, don't just use them as an outlet because they'll catch a bad vibe from that. Good luck though man, I started in 2005 in a VERY small town. Thankfully I didn't care about support or whatever, I just made the music for myself.
If you're young, don't have a car, don't have the means to move yet, just stick to making music to enjoy it.
Engage in your facebook friends and ask them what kind of music they like, if it suits your bill, show them (:
