Letter from James Taylor
Creating music is fun. So, why is it so hard to build a successful career as an independent musician? Why do some artists have hit songs, albums and sell-out shows? Why do some musicians seem to understand the business and marketing side of music better than others? Is it a natural skill? Are they just gifted with an innate ability to build a fanbase, get gigs and make hit records?
I’ve spend the last fifteen years as an artist manager, agent and music industry expert. During that time, I’ve been fortunate to work with thousands of musicians around the world including multiple Grammy award winners – to coach them on what it takes to make it in music today.
In my experience, successful musicians have two critical things in common. First, they have complete clarity on exactly what they need to do to make progress. Second, they take simple steps every day to create progress and momentum towards achieving their goals.
Unfortunately, many musicians hit a wall or plateau in their progress and never have the tools to establish clarity of forward momentum. Either they don’t know what to do to make it as a musician, or they have a goal but they just don’t know the steps to achieve it. This is often a result of receiving advise or training that is inconsistent or doesn’t cover some essential, critical information.
With this in mind, I created the P3 Music. It’s a provider of training courses, books, membership programs and events that that makes it easy for musicians to establish a solid foundation for their music career.
Now, while the information we provide is essential for those just starting or contemplating a music career, it’s also extremely valuable for semi-pro and pro musicians. If you are already making a living from music, but always feel like you’re hitting a wall or don’t know what to do next, P3 Music is also for you. It will provide you with cutting-edge training on music promotion, distribution, touring and publishing to take your music to the next level.
