Top 5 Tips For Staying Relevant As An Artist
The music world is always evolving, which makes it harder and harder to remain relevant as a musician. However, some artists are able to maintain a constant spot in the changing world. How do artists such as Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and OneRepublic continue to appear year after year?
Here are five tips that today’s hottest artists use — intentionally or unintentionally — to stay relevant in such an ever-changing industry.
1. Be aware of your demographic.
The music industry is bolstered by coming-of-age fans who are always on the hunt for fresh, relatable tunes. By being aware of who your demographic is, such as teen fans, you can make sure the music that you’re writing will speak to them. Most fans look for music and lyrics they can connect with; if you can provide this, if you can speak to them through your music, you have succeeded in remaining a constant figure in their music life whom they will look to for fresh content.
For example, Taylor Swift knows most of her fans are young women who are growing and changing under the same social influences that she is. So, she and her music style, from country to mainstream pop, move with and inspire them.
