In the music business, songs travel on relationships like boats on a river. Think of your song as a boat and your network of relationships as the water in the river.
You can have a big, deep river (a lot of good relationships), but if your boat (your song) isn't well-built, it's not going anywhere. Your song has to be built right to take advantage of your relationships. Just like your watercraft will sink if it has holes in it, your song-craft will end up at the bottom if it has holes in it. All those relationships just mean your song has further to sink.
But maybe your song is great. Maybe it's like a speedboat. Every square inch of it is built to "wow." That's awesome. But if the river is dry, you’re just sitting still. Your song has no relationships to support it. (Remember, songs travel on relationships like boats travel on water.) All that power is just stranded on the dry, rocky river bottom. Frustrating.
Amazing things happen, though, when you put a speedboat on a big river.
When your song is well-built AND you have a lot of good relationships in the music business, it can travel easily and quickly from you to publishers, potential cowriters, A&R, producers, and artists. It doesn't mean that hit singles come easy (they never do), but fast boats on big rivers have a lot of opportunities.
And speaking of opportunities, this brings me to a great one for you- one to improve both your boat and your river.
Each quarter, Frettie's "Know The Row" series brings in a music industry professional to reveal what YOU need to know about breaking into the music business. Ask YOUR questions- and get answers.
