Adonis shares his top 6 laws of music as a business

Don't just stand there..... Grab their interest... ok that's #2

What would seem like the most important thing is actually just common sense. But so many people miss what's obviou that I may as well add it to the list. Because the most important rule blankets all the principles.

#3 Write Authentically

The right song will have you up in the middle of the night crying about nothing. While many people prefer to become the artist or live a romantic dilution. Never sleep on the power of authenticity. As long as someone can find an emotional connection, being cool and sexy can fly right out the window.

Don't make the mistake of trying to be original, wait for it to come.

#5 Style Yourself

Without a style your simply not going to stand out. It can be a weird haircut or a bow tie that does it. Its a simple formula most people miss because the "music industry", that everyone wants to participate in - is focused on one thing, which is a normalized culture. Be different in your image and you will stand out for a lifetime. Examples include, Mr. T, Boy George, and Cyndi Lauper. All icons that you may not be familiar with right away, but they made a stamp on the universe while they were here.

#1. PREPARE TO BECOME OLD, for crying out loud 😭

The most important of the 5...Yes, it's the pink Elephant in the room but somebody has to say it. No one is going to want to see you pop that ass at 51 years of age, so at 60- let it go. Be sure to have some songs that can reflect your authenticity before you get there so you won't have to worry about hitting the high notes, remembering lyrics or performing something that no longer resonates with your age group. That's right; I already started my song about AARP, years ago. I am prepared to die unimportant and old. But that doesn't mean you have to throw your brilliant work in the garbage, in-fact most musicians reach success around 50, and by that time they are no longer working; In addition to that, intellectual property has more benefits than a pension or a retirement check (you can give it to your kids). While it may be easy to do the same thing you hate, over & over- forever; and have a false sense of security- in exchange for comfort, you also should be mindful that being a musician is a full time job as well. Don't let people "shrink" you in to believing this is some "passion project" or "HOBBY". This is a business and you are entitled to the same benefits, that life has to offer for everyone else. Unfortunately You have to treat this like its NOT a "hobby" and handle your legal business/taxes early- which means thinking ahead of time. Once you pay in to social security and get an LLC, you can still qualify for Government assistance, like unemployment, and welfare, (Just incase the music is not doing so well). That's not to speak for all the other business loans, and grants you may qualify for when you follow all the steps. Once you earn a little more money, you can invest in your own retirement plans, Ira's and Health insurances, but you must PREPARE TO BECOME OLD!!!

#4. Learn as you earn

Yes, its the pink Elephant in the room but somebody has to say it. No one is going to want to see you pop that ass at 51 years of age, so at 60- let it go. Be sure to have some songs that can reflect your authenticity before you get there so you won't have to worry about hitting the note. That's right; I already started my song about AARP, years ago. I am prepared to die unimportant and old. But that doesn't mean you have to throw your brilliant work in the garbage, in-fact most musicians reach success

#6. Help other people

I spent the majority of my life helping other musicians grow- without being business minded. I had to learn from my failures in business in order to see the profitably. That's why this is my sixth law. However very important none the less, because everyone I encountered walked away from me in a greater position. And that is worth more than GOLD. Join HOTRA to hear me discuss this in detail, how its not morally important to nourish the industry you represent; but how easy it is to earn off the back of others (respectably) once you have done the work.

Ya'll better stop paying for followers ....it doesn't look g
