The music industry today
Music industry today has gone digital. No doubt about it, we are in the era of digital music. Everyone in the music business knows about this fact.
Interestingly, when people are searching for new songs even in this digital age, people are naturally bound to listen to the songs that they like i.e. the songs which appeals to them personally, this choice of selection depends on what appeals to the listener.
Such as genre of the music, blues, soul, pop music, rock music, fast music, slow music, dance hall music, reggae etc. The theme of the song would also be another factor while people select songs to listen to e.g. Christian worship songs; the choices of people vary.
And the variation of music choice of people clearly means that every quality song in this digital age has a potential to thrive, blow and get famous without a major record label.
To make it in this music business, you really need a solid strategy and a good team to work with; a label is not really what you need.
I won’t say that labels exploit your opportunities, because, not all major record labels exploit their artist. The Good Music Africa Inc. is a music promotion company you can rely on.
Music promotion companies and agencies
Music promotion companies, and agencies includes; radio Station, song charts, song reviews and paid promotion, and word of mouth.
All these music promotion strategies are strategic in this era of digital music. These traditional music promotion companies and agencies have always been influencer in the music industry.

Take a look at the pyramid of influence in the music industry.
The above is the pyramid of influence in the music industry. As a matter of fact, music promotion companies still remain the reason why some songs go ahead of other songs in this digital age and era. Next to them on the ladder, are the big artist i.e. famous musicians.
Famous musicians also leverage their fame, influential power, social media influence and even money to promote their songs. They promote their songs to the radio and to even to charts; thus they get heard and remain visible and fresh in the mind of the masses.
So thats is how Radio Stations and Song Charts, music promotion companies, and artist that use music promotion services are able to influence the music choice of people.
There are reasonable number of good songs are out there, which are released on daily basis. But only those that are promoted on the big platforms will be listened to, and gain influence in the music choice of people.
So the big question is this? Are you making good music? Is your music even worth a promotion? Those are the question you need to ask yourself.
To be honest with you, music is a serious business with high potentials and return of investment. It pays real big back for your time and money that you have invested into learning, production, and also promotion.
