Advice for producers coming into the game(Power of Anonymous)

  Music producers are the life support of the music industry. There the spine to each every song so there is always going to be a demand for music producers. With an abundance of music producers how to you get heard? How to you get your music in the hands of a Drake, Future, or Kendrick Lamar?If you strive to be mediocre this post isn't for you. This is for the next Dr.Dre, Quincy Jones, Rodney Jerkins, and P.diddys of the world. If you want to be a successful producer you must find artist and projects that can possibly be potential hit records. What hit records do it open doors for you that otherwise would probably be shut. What is perplexing is you want to do this at the same time, you don't want to necessary aim for a hit records. Most of the time hit records come about by stumbling over them. When Just Blaze and Jay Electronica created the record "Exhibit C". They didn''t go into the studio with the mentality we have to make a hit record. They went into the studio with the mentality we have to make a great record. I say this to say you never know what may go viral what people may most likely gravitate towards. What this will do is create a buzz artist naturally want to know who's the hottest producer out. This is when companies will present contracts because when you have established a list of hit records. Its like recommendation on a resume for a job interview. You are establishing a portfolio ultimately every project is a step forward to more work. We want to gain the attention of artist who being marketed and promoted by record labels. If not them, atleast artist that are being promoted by by themselves. 

  Understand the power of anonymous if you go to New York. People stand there on 42nd street waiting to run into big name artist. Hoping they run into a Jay-Z, a Dmx, a 50 Cent which is cool but a big name artist may not necessary be the one to put you on. It might just be the guy that gets his hair at the barber shop around your way that know Russell Simmons and loves your music, it might be that dude you think is broke because he wears Parasuco jeans but he works in the same office building as Atlantic Records and is very close with an A&R in the building. I say that to say you want to look at the wide spectrum of people that can connect you to the music industry. You never know who someone knows or can do to get you further into the league.

  You have to have an exposure before commerce mentality. A free song can go along way, you don't want to give away to much but it helps. You want to get your name out get people talking. You want to market your self to the point people come looking for you. Always remember that and keep it in mind the strongest and most pertinent part of business is marketing you have got to get your name out there.
