The Latest Noise is hosting an artist development workshop on Saturday, March 10 from 12pm to 3pm at Nonlinear Knitting Studio (195 New York Ave, unit 3E, Jersey City)
The workshop is lead by Mike Kuzan (Kuz) of The Latest Noise.The goal of this workshop is to teach musicians how to grow their music career and create new opportunities. For this workshop we will teach you how to book gigs and then how to present the event effectively online to get people out to your show. Gerry Rosenthal (www.gerryrosenthal.com) is our very special guest and will give us his valuable insight on booking gigs from his years of experience and success.
Creating A Life In Music
1) MUSIC + GIGS = Foundation
This is the necessary part of the equation, the music has to be good and you grow as a musician and increase your exposure to fans when you play gigs. This is work but shouldn’t feel like it.
2) CONTENT + SOCIAL = Awareness
This is about capturing and displaying what you and your music is about to an audience. The content should be consistent and created with purpose. It should be released with intention and with goals. This is work and it sometimes feels like it.
3). FANS + MERCH = Growth
This is how to support your ability to make music and play gigs. Developing your voice as an artist and/or a band is the key to engaging your fanbase and allowing them to invest in your growth. If they see something in what you are doing they will support you... if you let them. This is work and will feel like work.
When you find a way to align all three of these things you create
A Life in Music.
