She had the following advice for singers and musicians who want to make it big in the industry.
TIP 1:
“Get a tertiary education. Focus your studies on things like marketing and social media. Remember, you are the CEO of your own brand and you need to sell your brand.”
TIP 2:
“Make sure that you understand the business side of the industry. If you don’t you are just a sitting duck and open for any agent or company to take advantage of you.”
TIP 3:
“Arm yourself with a good lawyer and do not sign any contracts without him or her looking over it first. It might sound like an extra expense but it is worth every penny.”
TIP 4:
“Perform live as much as possible. You can not call yourself a musician if you do not know how to do a live performance. At the beginning of your career you might not get a lot of money, but look past that and do it for the experience of being on stage.”
TIP 5:
“Enjoy it. Remember to stay humble but you never know what might be coming around the corner.”
