Music Industry Builds

Fan Base Through Technology

Technology is creating major changes in the music industry.Music lovers listen to and buy music on the Internet.They can watch live concerts of favourite artists online.And music makers as well as music industry officials use social media to reach and increase public interest.

Nick Sherwin is the founder of the band—Suburban Skies.He says 21st Century technology permits a band to control its own future.

Social media is a wonderful thing，and being able to control your own art and not be signed by a record label—to be your own record label—is liberating.

Sherwin says the Internet and social media have created possibilities for musicians.He says the new way to success is to give visitors more than one type of experience.

“The most important thing is content.You have to have songs and videos to be able to get up and do this.But I think it is extremely important to do shows to build your brand，to build your reputation，” Sherwin said.

Music industry officials discussed the future of the business during an international conference in Los Angeles，California.They said musicians are choosing to perform live across the country，following the drop in CD sales in the United States.

Rob Light is the head of music with Creative Artists Agency.“The majority of the income for artists now is coming from the live marketplace.”

Along with the popularity of live music there has been an explosion in the number of music festivals，which are advertised on social media.

Pasquale Rotella leads Insomniac，a company that produces electronic dance music festivals in several countries.

“Someone could make it in their bedroom and put it out there.People can gain fans that way，online without anyone's help，and that has absolutely helped the growth of dance music，” said Rotella.
