TIPS TO SUCCEED AS AN INDIE (INDEPENDENT) ARTISTE
Thursday, February 07, 2013Omoba
Not to be confused for artiste of middle-eastern
origins, lollzzz. Indie is a slang term used nowadays and it simply stands for
Independent. Indie art is art produced by artistes independent of the
mainstream commercial, controlled distribution channels.
With recent stories and gossips flying around about
artistes severing relationships with labels and music groups for more
independent control of their material, it’s clear that the indie spirit and
culture is fast growing. Let’s not kid ourselves, going the indie route is
not an easy trip, of course almost every e knows this, as almost every act
usually starts out indie.
To be successful as an indie artiste you need to work on the indie
attitude. The indie attitude is all about having a cool conduct. Be random,
be fun! BE YOURSELF, but cooler.
If you are quiet and introverted, don’t just
be the shy kids in the corner. Be the mysterious badass once in a while! If
you’re extroverted and outgoing, then just talk to other people! The best part
about indie is the freedom to put out sophisticated and creative art that isn’t
bounded by rules.
Learning an instrument helps, especially because it
helps people know you are passionate about what you want to do. You can just
bring your guitar places and strum a few chords. The chicks or studs will be all over you I guarantee
it. Being Indie is all about passion and alliance so get yourself out
there, meet people who would believe in your art and help you on your
way.
Write and play quality music, after all you are not
mainstream just yet anyway..
