There are artists who have 150,000 monthly listeners who can’t sell 20 tickets for a show and artists with 500 monthly listeners who can sell out a 200 capacity. Focus on the real people who listen to you.

It’s been said before but music managers, A&Rs and booking agents don’t just pull opportunities out of thin air. They pitch YOU to potential opportunities. So if YOU aren’t at the top of your game those opportunities aren’t gonna appear…
