What Does The Music Industry Look For In You?

If you can honestly answer “yes” to all of these questions, you must be well on your way to becoming an unstoppable force in the music industry!  Where do you stand?

Note: This survey assumes that your music abilities and the quality and marketability of your music are already at a high enough level to even enter the music industry on a professional level.  The purpose of this survey is for you to take inventory of “other” (overlooked or less obvious) elements that music companies look for in artists beyond the “art” itself.  It is a given that your musical skills must be at a pro level. 

1. I can get along well with people in high-pressure situations over long periods of time. *
2. My artistic image is consistent with (and reflective of) my music. *
3. I have experience recording in a “real” studio and can play TIGHT! *
4. I am able to think clearly and function well in stressful conditions such as long recording sessions. *
5. My schedule is flexible enough and financial situation is stable enough to allow me to take advantage of all music career opportunities that I want to be involved in. *
6. I have touring experience (at least on a regional level). *
7. I can handle the pressures of success (don’t answer this one too quickly!). *
