The Business of Making Music - What Do You Know About the Industry?

Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs performs on stage.
  • Many of you might have dreamed of being in a band or 'making it' in the music industry. But what does it take to break into this industry and what would you face if you did?
  • Do you need talent or is a good marketing strategy the key to success?
  • Is there such a thing as instant fame and fortune?
  • How do bands get to release a CD?

Task 1

Start with what you know:
In 150 words, try to outline how a young band might 'make it' in the music industry - remember we are looking at the business aspects of the industry so ensure your focus is on this.
