Everyone is entitled to my opinion...

 

The Magic Bullet… everyone wants one.

The amount of calls we get during the week from acts who want to know how to (a) get signed to a major label, (b) get a publishing deal, (c) get a booking agent and (d) get on to the next Big Day Out could be counted on one, if not, BOTH hands. Actually, it’s not the quantity that amazes, it’s the consistency.

 

All these acts call up and ask how they can be famous… NOW! Surely with all our combined years of experience here at Foghorn we must know all the secrets about having success in the music business overnight. Right? They don’t want to know about rehearsing, touring, booking their own gigs, telling everyone about their act or slogging it out night after night in clubs and pubs. No, none of this hard work for them! They won’t read Malcolm Gladwell “Outliers” and learn about the 10,000 hours of practice you need to put in to master something… they want to go straight from zero to hero.

 

And of course, there is a way they can do this. We still exist in an industry that can make stars overnight. All you have to do is write a hit song.

 

There you go. Simple.
