one in a million

The Music Industry
by Dashawn Bolden, music business student at MSB College

The music industry is a very difficult business to make it in; some say it’s a one in a million chance that you’ll make it. In my opinion, anyone can do anything if they work hard and persevere when difficult times occur. In the music industry, most artists don’t get a lot of sleep and are always working. You have to be dedicated to making music to remain successful in this industry, and not just be in it for the money.
There are many artists going through lots of problems in their lives, and just because they are rich and famous doesn’t mean they go through their lives without problems. You can’t just have one talent and expect people to remain a fan, you have to be doing multiple things to maintain your image. Your image and reputation is what’s really going to sell. Most artists make a hit record, and then they quit and lose what they gained. There are a handful of artists who remain consistent with making music for the people.
