Musician

If your ambition is not to be the star of an act, or write or produce songs, but you still, nevertheless, want to make a living by playing your instruments or doing session jobs etc., the prospects are actually much better than you might think.

There isn´t a huge amount of money in it for the musician, but there is a lot of work around. Many producers need backing vocals or instrumentalists. Usually, those who are established don't come cheap, thus creating great opportunities for newcomers to offer their skills at a lower rate. A great chance to make contacts and to be able to show them what you can do!

Tour agencies are also in constant need of musicians.

If your goal is to tour the world and become famous, rather than to work in a studio, then we recommend that you team up with an artist. Don't start your own band and try to squeeze a front person into your concept - that won't work. Try to find the new Jon Bon Jovi, Gwen Stefani, Axl Rose etc. who is a fix-star and has charismatic potential, and settle on their conditions.

The musician has little to gain from record companies, publishers and managers.
