The career in music that I want to pursue is becoming a major music producer and songwriter. My goal is to be like the major producers in the music industry and lead the sound in popular music, be able to be at a caliber of artists like Max Martin, Timbaland, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and Jon Bellion. The steps I plan to follow to achieve this goal begin with studying music, I’d start with all kinds of music at first to get a good grasp of music structure and content. I think it's very important to fully understand how most, if not all music is made, from the chord progressions, melodies, drum patterns, vocal techniques, tones, and lyrical content that is used in each genre, especially music that is broadly liked, being able to understand …show more content…

I want to have enough ability/skill musically to be able to create and fully form the music in my head and perfectly translate it into the real world. Not only be able to fully translate what's in my head but also be able to make it commercial and be successful with the mass audience. Right now I'm currently in step one of my plan, I'm studying all kinds of music and making my music at the same time and trying to implement things into my craft and learning how to be able to make a high-quality sound.

At this point, I would want to work on music for myself. I give myself 2 years to be at this point,

This leads into step four of my plan where I'd start working on my own project, with the musical skill and connections I have at that point I'd put every resource I have into my project. Hopefully, I'm at a point where my skills and style have been sharpened to where I at least I have an idea of how to make a good song. While producing the project, I would work on gathering a team to help with the release of it. Mainly focusing on advertisement and knowing how to spread It (social media mainly because it seems like the best option.) I’d release the project for free because I don’t feel like you can release music as a new artist and have people want to pay for it in this day in age. Also collaborating with other people with followings as an artist instead of being behind the scenes of the music making. Through this form of releasing music, I feel like you’re more likely to grow an organic fan base and a devoted following. Even though I would have supposedly made songs for
