The truth about the relationship between music and business

As a veteran and world-renowned DJ, Haidak knows all too well that to get far in the music industry, one has to understand the relationship between music and business fully. While there are countless talented and skilled musicians out there, some have never really made it past small gigs in bars because they never really knew how to go about the business side of things.

For musicians and young DJs who want to have their music heard, not just on social media or YouTube, but also on radios and huge stadiums around the world, Haidak makes two key points on how to successfully negotiate the ins and outs of the music industry.

Timing is key.

Like all the important things in life, timing is key when making a move in the music industry. Trends rule global music. What’s not popular today may be popular tomorrow. Musicians should observe these trends and send demos as soon as their genre of music becomes the in thing.

Patience is required.

In connection to timing, patience is required. A lot of aspiring musicians are turned down or don’t attain the needed popularity to break through because they release their records too early. Sometimes, record producers find musicians unbearable to work with because of the lack of patience by the latter. That also can ruin a musical career before it starts.

On the club and festival circuit, Haidak is no stranger. He has played at festivals alongside names such as John Digweed, Nic Fanciulli, Stephan Bodzin, Reinier Zonneveld, Oliver Weiter, Henry Saiz, Kobosil, and many more. For more on Haidak and his music, clickhere.
