I had the privilege to listen to Michael Paynter (singer-songwriter-producer), back in August 2015, talk about how to get record label and management attention – which I think is really good to know as an artist hoping to make it one day in the industry – and this is what I learnt;
HAVING AN ARTIST ‘EDGE‘ (record labels)
– Who am I (as an artist)? Who do you want to be (genre)?
– What’s my story?
People need to connect with you (whether it’s good or bad). They’ll buy YOUR music, listen to what YOU have to say. It doesn’t have to be sad. Just be the artist and write the songs that follow YOUR story.
– Where am I headed?
