Different groups demand different requests. A concert fan wants to attend a concert and enjoy the music. If you are performing in a night club, you must bring in the crowd in order to pay your fee. A wedding requires a totally different style of music, such as a DJ. You must remember who you are attempting to sell yourself to and what music they want. If you are willing to work hard in determining what your client's needs are, you will be successful. Regardless of your style of music, you are the one who will control your future success. The word fail should not be in your vocabulary. If you continually think about failing, you will. The best way to be is positive. Believe in yourself and your customers will believe in you.
Becoming a musician is not the easiest profession to choose. If you feel this is your goal, Go for It. Remember this is a tough road to follow and you will still need a regular job to continue your endeavors. When you start out you still need to pay the bills.
Out of pocket costs are to be realized also. You need instruments, amplifiers, demo tapes and pamphlets to do your job and promote yourself. You do not necessarily have to buy your equipment, you can rent your stuff. You might even consider refresher music courses to learn new methods or new technology. Remember the musician with the latest technology rules.
