Advice on getting into the music industry (artist + studio path)
Hi, I’m writing this on behalf of my friend.
We’re both relatively new to music and haven’t graduated yet. We also don’t live in the US, but we’ve been thinking seriously about our future and how to get into the music industry.
My friend) is aiming to become a singer-songwriter, while I’m more interested in working in a studio or in behind-the-scenes roles.
We’re trying to understand what paths we should be looking at, such as:
what kinds of jobs can help us get closer to producers or artists
how people typically enter those environments
whether there are roles that involve going on tour and working directly with artists
We’re open to pursuing multiple streams of income and building international connections, rather than relying on just one path.
Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
