So you have a degree in art. Congratulations are in order - it's mean you're talented, passionate and creative! Sadly, given the fact that you're reading this article, I assume you're unemployed. Remain positive - there are solutions for each and every problem as such. Being an artist comes with its ups and downs - the creativity and ingeniosity is made up with lack of perspective. Let's face it - there aren't too many successful artists out there. Unless you're extremely, but I mean EXTREMELY talented and you dedicated each and every moment of your life to art, I doubt you will find it easy to make a living out of it. But there are more fortunate cases, and some people actually do get lucky.
As a musician, you firstly have to decide if you want to pursue this career solo or with a band. It's a matter of choice - by having some other fellow musicians by your side, you'll get to connect and bond with them and make the best out of the experience. In addition, you may establish contacts more easily. Working solo can be some lonesome at times, but financially speaking, if you make your break-trough, it's going to be worth it.
If you decided to go through with a band, practice and rehearse until you all reach the same level and you're able to synchronize properly. You don't want to seem out of tune when performing in a live show, do you? In addition, establish a set list. You ought to be able to create tunes of your own - put your soul into them in order to be able to express feelings through your performance. You have to be able to impress the public. A good tip would be to start off with one or two covers as well. It's indicated given the fact that you will probably be anonymous at the beginning. Performing some catchy tunes may help you gain that extra attention.
Never say no to a gig. You have something to learn from each and every experience. Start off locally, and then make it out globally!
As a solo artist, you mai consider entering some profile competitions, such as American Idol or X-Factor. If you're really talented, you may actually have a shot to appear in the shows. It's not about winning here - be practical. It's about making a name for yourself. Even if you don't win, some record company may like you and contact you for a collaboration.
If you put passion in what you do, nothing's impossible! Try your best and become the next internationally acknowledged artist!
