Many of today’s musicians are turning to freelancing because
the music industry has changed and there are more opportunities available to
them, with a robust marketplace musicians are finding it easier to find work.
As Jeff Wald states in his Forbes article there has been an increase in the
freelance workforce, and with SoundBetter musicians can connect with other professionals on a trusted platform
where they can manage their projects and get listed.
Before musicians had to rely on studios or labels to get
work, but with production tools easily affordable and musicians recording music
in their bedrooms there seems to be an increase in do it yourself projects, and
this has led to an increase in demand for services. With technological advances
you can now do it all from home without the loss of quality and produce a “release-ready” product.
Many musicians are turning to the freelance marketplace to
get the work done to complete their projects and find it cost effective, by being
an independent musician you can
license you music to major Cable TV Shows, Film and Game developers. The
freelance music producer has more opportunities at their disposal, such as
mentioned in the above, working with all types of artists from vocalists and
rappers.
You can market yourself by putting a face with your music
and creating your brand with a nice clean logo to let people know that not only
do you create music, but that you are also in the business of music. Build up
your music catalog and provide different genres of music, be versatile and you
will be able to become a freelance music producer. There is plenty of work for
a professional music producer and the opportunities to write music continues to
grow. Movies, TV, cable, games, and videos are just a few, so if you are a music producer take advantage of the
freelance marketplace.
