Tech founders are supposed to be the new rock stars, but they're missing out on a KEY component that makes musicians global brands. Thankfully we have Queen Donna Spievak, a key figure in the global music business, to help shed some light on the differences between how founders think of themselves, and how rockstars think of themselves.

Actual hack that works: Collaborating with other local artists for cross-promotion. Partnering with fellow musicians in your area for shows or social media shoutouts. Do this to tap into each other's fanbases and create a broader community buzz. Then you all benefit from: > Wider audience reach > Shared fanbase growth > Increased network and support Anyone can play a show. You’re the only one that can build a thriving music community through collaboration and shared success. Think about who you could do a collaboration with. Then make it so. #collaboration #musichacks #independentartist

One of the most effective work you can do as an artist to promote yourself is engaging with your community. Firstly, seek out artists who have a similar sound and fan base size as you. By interacting with them, you not only gain their support but also get exposed to their network. You’ll use them to discover and target professionals like producers, video directors, managers, and others in your genre who they are connected with. Also, through this interaction you’ll discover communities, groups, and online platforms where passionate fans and professionals in your genre hangout. It's important to actively seek out these spaces to engage with like-minded individuals. When connecting with artists in your genre who have a similar fan base size, initiate conversations, become friends, collaborate, and introduce each other to your respective audiences. This mutual support and collaboration will lead to exposure and expand your network within the music industry. It’s not an easy work but it is worth it. #musicindustry #music #musicians #musicbusiness #singersongwriters

Why the music industry is like a tale of two cities. City #1: shiny lights, stars, the goal is to become the next superstar. City #2: less shiny lights, but people music on their terms. No desire for commercial gain. City #1 gets all the attention (and all the funding). City #2 is often overlooked and underserved. I talked about this on Trapital with Kakul Srivastava, CEO of @Splice. You can check out the episode if you click the link in the comments below.
