The common thread throughout the panel discussion was consistency and genuinity. Katherine Forbes and Elisabeth Beckwitt spoke to how each individual in the music industry has their own vision. Only you can fulfill your dream, because it’s yours. Don’t try to copy what someone else is doing, because their end game is different than yours and you have something that only you can bring to the table.

One of the most common early mistakes made by artists is blurring the line between friends and fans. Be sure that you are continuously conscious of the difference between the two, or you may end up losing both of them.

That tag line sounds familiar… that guitar riff even more so… that’s your song! The dream is to hear your song on the radio. Windows down, speakers blaring, and you’ve made it. Could it be as simple as sending out emails to get a spot for an on-air performance at a local radio station? It is that simple.
