Innovation, Our New Job As The Music Industry
I released my first music video, “Rocket to the Moon” today. As a new artist with a low starting fanbase I understood I wouldn’t be able to get much press write up for my music video unless I presented something never seen before. So that’s what I did, I created “The World’s First Portrait Music Video”, and the press followed. It is our new job as the Music Industry to lead innovation.
If there is one post I see constantly on social media that I hate, it’s the “Musicians Excuse Meme” (as I have so aptly named it). You all know it, it’s the one about how music costs way more than a cup of coffee to make, and yet we choose to spend money on coffee.
The meme is a poor excuse to feel sorry for ourselves and beg for petty cash.
The truth is, the music industry has left behind the days of record sales. We’ve moved into a new era, an era of presenting people with something unique, different, and never before seen.
This is our new job and if you do your job well, I promise you people will follow.
What can you be the first leading innovator in? Or in the classic Disney/Pixar approach, what can you be the first great storyteller in?
I’d be curious to know what you already have been a leading innovator in! Write your stories in the comments.
