Music Artistes and Commerce

The music business, just like it says, is a business. As a business, it is similar and no different to running any other type of business. Having the various sorts of expertise on hand is also a necessary tool. A manager, an accountant, publicists and a whole range of experts are also in the frame towards breaking an Artiste, bringing them to the attention of the world and exploiting the artistic work and concepts to their fullest.

I love music, in fact I seem to love all types of sound irrespective of genre. That way, I can be very genre unspecific. I either love it, like it and in a few unexceptional cases could be indifferent to specific songs and performances. I never hate somebody's music as long as the notes played are correct and the performance is geared toward the consumer's enjoyment and pleasure. The talent and quality of music produced and performed gets better all of the time. We are in an era of super talents who just happen to be emerging as a result of the digital revolution.

I have noticed recently that established music artistes, some decades old in their popularity, are still  going strong because they have kept up with the changing landscape of the music business. Because of the frequent changes in technology which also has a knock on effect in the way music and some art, is produced and marketed, it has been necessary for the industry as a whole to adapt.

Music Artistes themselves are finding new ways to adapt to the changes happening everywhere within the business as a whole. How will they survive between recordings and touring? How to cope with emerging super talented individuals that technology is now enabling and empowering. How to maximize financial potential while still on the public radar. All of these are the questions the Artiste and their management must find answers for.

Some famous names are going for the lowest common denominator. Simple ideas such as putting ones face or brand to a product to help in marketing the product and influencing their die-hard fans to buy these same goods. The best one though, are these Gwen Stefani Harajuku Lovers Music Sunshine Cuties EDT 10ml Spray (Google Affiliate Ad), Gwen has a good following in Japan and the Harajuku district is known for girls with attitude just like Gwen.

Mariah Carey is a talented singer, actress and business woman and she seems to love pink, here then is another product, also from perfume-click.co.uk who have a whole range of smell good products that is click accessible which you can buy straight from your browser, it is part of Mariah's range Mariah Carey Luscious Pink Gift Set 30ml EDP + Free Music Download (Google Affiliate Ad). The positive is that these products are accessible at affordable prices.

Kylie Minogue's Music Box edition of Body Lotion, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum is a master class in branding and I am sure they smell great too. Below is a banner advertisement from perfume-click.co.uk in all it's glory, I love the simplicity of the design. Simple and uncomplicated, just like Kylie.
