Musicians, Artists, Bands have seem to have lost sight of what is actually important due to the convenience of streaming aided by a pandemic that destroyed the music industry.
The conversation surrounding an artist's success used to be around hype / energy / attendance at a live show. Due to streaming and social norms ironically favoring introverts & straight up laziness the metric conversation became streaming numbers & social media traffic. The introverts trying to create a music career were given some incredibly misguided information due to this blip in the world, but all of those numbers can be bought and sold. The entire industry is aware of this and you are wasting extremely valuable networking time if you are staying indoors.
The proof in the pudding is the hustle everywhere you go. If you don't want to believe this then you can have fun with your 100K streams and 1 in attendance at your local dive. An easy to correct this is to utilize open mics. Open mics are completely free and already have the curated audience for you to network so there is no need to sift through people that might interested in what you have to offer.
Open mics are great places to create culture around your music Monday through Thursday, get in with venues & people other that can help. It is also a good place for constructive criticism, free live content & zero stress.
