Music is a Business

Years and years of playing the bass and working in a series of dive bars and small venues, negotiating my own fees and working for very little indeed—it’s taught me a lot. It’s taught me music, that’s for sure, and my bass playing has vastly improved (I should hope so after all these years), but it’s also taught me the music business.

Let me clue you in here: The music business? Basically, it’s business.

Now, every business has its own personality, its own culture, its own highways and byways, dos and do-nots, but the fundamental principles remain consistent across the board. Business is about money, success, negotiating, marketing, public attention, word of mouth, publicity, standing your ground, maintaining your brand, having the resources you need or knowing where to find them and, well, do I need to go on?

Yes, I think I do.

Lots of musicians struggle. Some struggle, let’s face it, because they’re not that talented, or not that committed, or simply because no one is interested in what they have to offer. If you’re a Madrigal singer, I hate to tell you, but now is not your time. But a lot of musicians are talented and do have something that the market wants, and yet they struggle.

Understanding business and the way business works is crucial to success as a musician. Everything from marketing to budgeting is important, and negotiation, oh man, that’s crucial. Legal knowledge is vital too, because you’re going to be offered contracts, a precious few of which will be fair, and the rest of which will be efforts to screw you and make you say “Thank you sir.”

And here’s another thing: A musician is basically self-employed, and like any self-employed person, has to handle taxes and health insurance in a specific way. All of which requires a different kind of knowledge than how to change your strings, man.

protein manufacturing firms get their employees in different ways. There are job applicants who sent their applications to the industries. Others are referred by organizations who have partnered with the company in question. Some industries use employment bureaus to get employees. That means that one cannot get a job in the said company unless they go through the bureau. Once you sent your C.V. to the bureau, they call you for an interview. After that if you pass, they link you up with the industry. The company pays for the services offered. These bureaus help the organization to get the best applicants in the market. Since they are able to outsource as many applicants as possible, chances are high for them to get the top cream in protein manufacturing. In some other organizations, there is a special team that deals with employments. It’s in charge of scrutinizing all the applications sent to them. Other institutions advertise for people to apply in their organizations. Adverts can be placed in newspapers or in the internet. There are companies which allow people to apply and do their interviews on line. Mostly the people who are allowed to go through this process are the ones at the top in the organization. In a situation where one is able to do an interview on phone it’s allowed. The phone in the interview room is put on speaker. People in the room are able to hear what the person at the end of the line is saying. Questions are asked and answered through the phone. The only problem is that both parties are not able to see each other. They are not able to see the facial expressions of their interviewees. However, it’s convenient for people who find themselves on a journey for one reason or another. In other companies they use their own workers to look for employees. An internal advert is put in place and workers are invited to bring in people who have the needed qualifications. Since the workers have been working for the company for a while they will know who to inform.
