Whether you’re new to music or a decade into your career, every artist can benefit from collaborating with other musicians.
You’ve probably heard the old saying about how nobody is an island. We depend on one another not just to survive but to stoke our creative fires. When artists collaborate, anything is possible. You may craft the next song that takes the world by storm, or you may simply learn to see the world from another perspective. Either way, the benefits of working together greatly outweigh those of working alone.
But there’s a problem. Many artists are shy when it comes to asking for help. Others hesitate to offer their services to other artists out of fear that they may be perceived as egotistical or otherwise big-headed. Both of these mindsets are terrible, and they are holding countless musicians back from reaching their creative peak.
In the latest Music Biz update, host James Shotwell explains the importance of collaboration and offers five suggestions for those hoping to work more with others moving forward. If you can find the strength within yourself to believe you are worthy of help and of helping others, nothing can stand in your way.
