I am getting the equipment the only problem I have currently is...how do I get my music around and how will I get people to listen. I also want to get on the radio.
I'm guessing I should get connections with DJ's on radio stations I'm guessing. But I don't want to make music in vain I want to it to mean something I want my success to pimp slap my close minded classmates but I don't want to talk about my swag money and girl's I want to be myself. |

| I may sound ignorant right now But I want to be famous Everytime I watch MTV I keep thinking I need to make trap music to be famous. Girls money and all that but I don't want to do that. I want MY music to be famous but not about drug's money and girl's I just want fame in my realm. |

i understand the want to be famous, but you have to make your expectations realistic
aim for smaller goals building up to becoming "famous" instead of just "i want to be famous" |

| The hardest part about being a starting musician is trying to get a gig. |

what crash said
sometimes i go out to concerts that pertain to the genre of music i make and just hand out tapes/discs that have my music and information on them just for fun
send your stuff to blogs, big or small send your stuff to musicians and producers you admire, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to contact them finally, once you think you have a solid musical personality and a good set, send a promo or something to label companies and stuff, play shows, you might get noticed |

do not make a music video until you have a budget for one if you don't, the music video is gong to be of bad quality or insignificant and won't do much for you |

1. Don't sell anything, not in this stage of your music recognition
2. Contact other musicians of your genre, they are usually nice and help you out on a lot of things.

Start with something simple.. Talk about your childhood and keep your music "Real" Also listen to a lot of old school music like, 2Pac, Biggie, etc. I've also found this new rapper his name is "Astronomical Kid" You should listen to him..

Because I think it's simple there's many things you could talk about if this happened to you.
Your dad/mom leaving you A girl you liked etc. |
