The 10 Commandments of Music!

Good Evening,

I found this great adaption of the 10 Commandments, but tailored for the music Industry. Bruce Houghton for Music 2.0 created this and I felt it was valuable to share this with everyone aspiring to break into the music industry. I thought it was brilliantly put together and kept simple. Enjoy!

 

1. Thou Shalt Not Worship False Prophets - Neither a record deal or auto-tune are your saviors.
2. Thou Shalt Worship Only One God - He (or she) is called The Fan.
3. Thou Shalt Giveaway Free Music - Like Jesus and the loaf of bread, give your flock a gift that multiplies as they pass it around.
4. Thou Shalt Not Steal - Borrowing a beat is one thing, but stealing…
5. Thou Shalt Blog - Your flock wants to know what you’re doing. 
6. Thou Shalt Create Profiles - Wherever your flock may go, you must be there. 
7. Thou Shalt Upload Photos -  Staged, unstaged, backstage, from the stage and at every stage of a project. 
8. Thou Shalt Upload Videos - Longs Ones. Shorts Ones. Tall ones…you get the idea. 
9. Thou Shalt Share Thy Bounty. Share gigs. Share ideas. Share with your fans. 
10. Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You - You meet the same people on the way down that you did on the way up.

 

For those who are aspiring to get into the industry, follow these simple steps and you will go far. If you need help with any of the commandments, let me be your Moses and reach out to me here on my blog.
