We'll introduce you to the world of song briefs, typically provided from top publishers and record labels around the world. If an artist or perhaps even a Netflix series is looking for songs, more often than not their individual brief is sent out via publishing companies and/or record labels on their 'Who's Looking' lists. Throughout the course, any songs written will be pitched directly to the individual briefs they're intended for.

Erika Nalow HNRS 4990 Honors Project Conclusion An Exploration of Recording and the Music Business The following questions were initially proposed during the planning of my Honors Project. I have chosen to organize the final project results around these questions and how they were specifically answered through conducting my creative project. “Can an independent artist record, mix, produce, promote, and distribute their own original work successfully?” o To answer this part of the research thoroughly, I will give a detailed recitation of the planning and execution of this project. This project began with me writing an original song entitled “Upside Down.” After composing it, I went to my project advisor, Mark Bunce, and reserved a day in the Kuhlin Center recording studio on BGSU’s campus to record the song. I then arranged additional music for the song- writing parts for trombone, trumpet, alto saxophone, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums, piano, and vocals.

  • Career Challenges Musicians Face in the United States Ying Zhen, Ph.D
    This is a preliminary draft. Please do not cite or circulate without the permission of the author. Career Challenges Musicians Face in the United States Ying Zhen, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Business and Economics Wesleyan College Macon, GA, U.S.A. Phone: 478-757-3917 Email: [email protected] Abstract1 This study summarizes and analyzes the challenges and opportunities that musicians face in the United States, based on a survey of 1,227 musicians in the U.S. in 2018, which was conducted by the Music Industry Research Association (MIRA) and the Princeton University Survey Research Center, in partnership with MusiCares. The results reveal that although “artistic expression” is highlighted as musicians’ favorite aspect of being a musician, 61 percent of musicians’ music- related income is not sufficient to meet their living expenses. Such a share among male musicians is slightly lower than that of female musicians: 58.4 percent vs. 66.3 percent, respectively. However, such a share among white musicians is significantly lower than that of non-white musicians: 57.0 percent vs. 75.5 percent, respectively. The average American earns income from 3.5 music-related activities per year. The most common income source is live performances, followed by music lessons and performing in a church choir or other religious service. MusiCares membership has a negative effect on music-related earnings. All else being equal, musicians with a MusiCares membership make about 40% less music-related income than those without the membership. This might be in consistent with the role MusiCares plays as the charitable arm of the Recording Academy.

    PROPERTY OF TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE NIGERIA – www.tenstrings.org PROPERTY OF TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE NIGERIA – www.tenstrings.org PROPERTY OF TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE NIGERIA – www.tenstrings.org Chapter 21 Introduction to Music Business The business of music There are two music worlds. There is the world of pure music, which involves the creative side of things, songwriting. rehearsing, and performing, and there is another world which must come into play IF you truly want people to hear your music...the Music Business. Making music and making a living from your music are not the same thing. When it comes to getting your music into the marketplace you must fasten your seat belt and get exposed to the world of music business. How does it work? From writing your song and copyrighting it to finding a good record producer, getting the job out of the studio, promoting the song, getting a record deal, signing contracts, releasing an album and marketing it, all the way to getting booked for every major gig. You need to know how it works. Did you know that the Supply of Existing Marketable Music Is Greater Than Any Demand For New and Unknown Music? You have to make people aware of your music, and You have to create the demand for it, by getting the attention of the various gatekeepers in the record business and in the media who control the access areas for exposing new music (the record labels, distributors, stores, and live venues, as well as radio, TV, and the print media). No one is sitting at home waiting for you to release your music.
