In today’s world, social media is absolutely vital to the career of any artist in any discipline. With music it is especially so because, let’s face it, most young people want to be musicians, creating even more of a challenge to stand out. To do this you need to be making music that is fresh and interesting, but that alone isn’t enough – chances are when you’re starting out you don’t have a marketing team behind you, so you need to get yourself out there. Grab a few essential social media tips for artists to get yourself started below and for comprehensive tuition on navigating the music business, check out our Music Industry courses.
For our latest video, we had two people that know a thing or two about social media sit down and discuss tactics. Our own DJ Ravine has built his YouTube following to just under half a million subscribers and his guest, Drew Morisey, has developed his How To Rap Brand to reach over 150k. Between them, you can be sure that by following their advice will certainly give your social media clout a boost.
As well as our music industry-specific courses, these lessons form a big part of many of our music courses. For instance, in our BA (Hons) in Music Production and Sound Engineering degree, as well as our new BA (Hons) in Music Production and DJ Practice, you will find modules focused on building your brand and getting what you want from the industry. If the music industry aspect is your biggest passion we have also developed a BA (Hons) in Music Industry Management, launching next year. All of our degrees are quality-assured by Middlesex University. For more info get in touch.
