DEVELOP YOUR HOME STUDIO

Is your studio no longer accepting recording sessions?

In today's world, you don't need a high-end label recording studio to develop and create your music.

I know that this is easier said than done, but you have to start somewhere.

If you're a solo act start online shopping for the necessary tools to bring your art to life.

KEEP WORKING & WRITING

Throughout my time working with artists I have noticed that every musician always has unfinished work, whether that is unfinished songs, beats, or videos.

Time is of the essence but for some reason, we never have enough of it.

Now is the time to get the creative juices flowing and revisit that backlog of unfinished work.

PROMOTE & SUBMIT YOUR MUSIC

This might be the most important part of this feature post, you don't even need to leave the house, you don't even need to get off of the couch, SUBMIT YOUR MUSIC to bloggers (especially TGF)

All you need to get your latest work featured on our website and blog is your press kit and an email address.

Ever used to submit to TGF before? Why not try it out and see if your music grabs someone's attention.

ENGAGE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE

The chances of being able to provide an in-person live experience are very slim due to the current crisis but it is very important to keep your fans and supporters engaged in other forms.

Now is the time to break out of your shell and interact with your followers via your various social media accounts. Keep your listeners and followers up-to-date with how you’re doing and what you’re up to. This can be achieved by emails, live interactions or just simple direct messages.
