The majority of artists overlook the most important aspects of building their fanbase.
They get addicted to shiny objects and things like artist profile sites (ReverbNation, etc.), thinking that will help them get discovered and propel them into the spotlight.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
One of the reasons I fell in love with the USA was because of the whole concept of the American Dream…
You can start out as a nobody and become a somebody.
You create your own destiny.
You know what’s complete baloney?
Musicians who think that focusing on the business side of things somehow adulterates their “art.”
That somehow learning about marketing takes away from the love and passion of music.
That to focus on success means you’re not focused on making the world a better place simply with your music.
#MakingTheAlbum Week 2
This #MakingTheAlbum series is all about documenting my real-life process of not only creating an album, but everything else that goes along with being a musician during that time. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be real, right? Life doesn’t pause to let us focus on one thing at a time, so we have to manage the best we can.

Hello, my name is Kandice Bell from Atlanta Georgia.
I’m an independent artist and, as you know, funds are limited for us. I always look for creative ways to be able to market myself and do this on a budget.
So, I was kind of in a stand still because I didn’t know how to market myself properly. We don’t have big budget and I don’t have a big staff!
I had to get creative!
