I know this feeling is not expressed by many but some artists do see cheerfulness as lack of substance and talent so they try to be mysterious and withdrawn because it makes them look more intelligent, or at least more poetic.<\/p>\n<p>But, come on. Being socially detached does not make you more talented or interesting. In fact, these social interactions and relationships can open new opportunities and can help you learn more about the music industry and its ropes. Let\u2019s face it- when it comes to music, personality and social relations do matter\u2026a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Leave your temper at home. Don&#8217;t be too picky. Don&#8217;t be cocky.

First of all, maybe your demo sucks (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/sending-demo\/\">check out if you&#8217;re doing these things<\/a>). And before you get cynical, yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/music-demos-record-label\">sending demos still work.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HOWEVER, in order for it to really work, you have to do a dozen more things, and trust me, they\u2019re not so easy. You have to operate like a signed label! BUT WHY NEED A LABEL WHEN YOU\u2019RE ALREADY\u00a0DOING GREAT? Well, the labels have the money to invest in marketing and\u00a0distribution so that your $1M will become $50M.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s basically the answer. But that also means you will be working 50 times as hard. But if you want to go big, this is the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not yet signed though, then sister, waiting and hoping and praying won&#8217;t get you anywhere. You have to be proactive with your career and not depend on a label for your career to shoot up.<\/p>\n<p>Time wasted waiting is well&#8230;well, wasted time.<\/p>\n<p>________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b><i>James Hill<\/i><\/b><i> is a veteran of the music industry.
