How To Support A Musician You May Know (Not With just $$)

There are many musicians out there in the world that you can decide to support by doing a random act of kindness. Many musicians struggle with finding a place where they can be successful in what they love. So much time and effort goes into just writing and recording the music, its is easy to forget what all goes into making an artist, someone people out there look to support and many get taken for granted and never get the light they deserve. There are so many musicians out there and so many genres, a musician can get lost in the ones and zeroes on the web. With this being said, supporting an artist is a task in itself, but every musician out there will appreciate you and reach out to conversate more rather than feeling scrutinized, not looked at as an artist.

Going on there social media sites and sharing a post they have shared is a great way to engage with the musician, dropping some comments on how the post made you feel, or what you liked about the post/song the musician has posted. Also sharing their social media sites to others greatly helps the artist expand their reach to others that wouldn’t normally stumble upon them. Writing a post upon how the musician is a hardworking, motivated, determined individual and others support would help them is another great way to support a musician.

Choosing a song/album that the musician has posted/distributed and writing how it made you feel and relating it to a story in your life is also one of the best ways to support that friend or family member you have that would love your support. Asking them what the song is about or what they meant in a certain lyric can also expand that relationship and help that musician feel like you honestly care and don’t just see them as another person in this world and someone you appreciate.

Last purchasing their music, donating and investing in a musicians work in on the top of the list on how to support a musician you may know or want to know. Many musicians struggle in life and do a lot to make it their main career but many do not get to that point and it takes a lot of money to be successful in any business in life. Merch, promotions, beats, mixing ,features ,getting on festivals all costs money and if a musician is really doing their all to be seen, they are doing their all to market themselves and that takes a lot of money and time.

No, I just started playing, even though 6 hours had gone by in the blink of an eye and I've only restarted the game 50 times due to a glitch causing me to die,  One more try, mom, One more life dad, No, it's time for bed.
