Social Networks and the Music Industry

Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: Evi Vordermeier

Music sharing and social networking sites offer great opportunities for people in the music industry. However, not all bands and struggling artists may become successful in these venues. But they can perhaps do better using other means to get spotted. For one, congestion of various artists in social networking sites has become an issue. Significant mass and vast opportunity generates overcrowding. In some sites wherein you share music, having tons of friends may be good if majority are supporters and fans of your music.

Social networks and record labels

A huge number of musicians make use of these networks to develop a fan base and set out on their profession in the music industry. However, not everyone has enough financial support and marketing knowhow. It can be extremely difficult for a particular unknown band or artist to make a name and be recognized. Artists may not acknowledge it, but it is a reality they need the support of a record label. In addition to this, social networks have the capability for aspiring artists to be noticed in the music business.

Issue of overcrowding

It may be easier to get spotted when the artist is part of a social network but there are also issues involved. A lot of the music posted on social networks is not marketable. A particular original song performed and then later on discarded by the group some years back remains on the site. In effect, this song still competes with many other original songs including other musical pieces that are badly written and performed. The issue of overcrowding makes it more difficult for genuinely brilliant music makers to be noticed since it also makes it difficult for the artists & repertoire (A & R) to perform their task. Music companies do a lot more than just look for new talented artists. They also need to handle their existing roster; hence, time management becomes critical. Understandably, they cannot spend too much time listening to demo music provided by various talents.

Song pitching sites

If looking for new talents, you can expect record labels to go places where there is lesser overcrowding. Song pitching websites help music makers by unintentionally assisting music companies diminish the issue of overcrowding or through making discovery of new artists and music pieces simpler. When there is less noise, talents can easily penetrate through the music industry or engage more followers in a more effective manner.

A song pitching website is capable of eradicating the issue of overcrowding by providing music companies with helpful tools. These companies also need to focus their efforts in discovering new talent. Record labels can provide a listing of their requirements on the site at the same time music talents can submit appropriate songs to them through the use of a song pitching technique. They may also have time-management tools to assist in systematizing and listening to submitted materials or music. This takes out the muddle and time is saved for artists & repertoire. Other sites diminish clutter by increasing the A&R's productivity.
