Also keep an eye out for how & why One Direction became the juggernaut they are & advice for aspiring musicians on what he looks for when signing acts.

    I'm not particularly involved in the music industry in any way, but I understand well that just having talent doesn't get you far. You have to be able to market yourself and make connections. I would be speechless if this was my job, music is my #1 passion and something I feel very strongly about.

      I agree connections are key, Its hard for me to connect to people though maybe thats my problem, btw great comment

      To be music is a hobby, not a career. It only becomes a career if the industry pay me well.

    Hopefully they will sign and market 4th impact from xfactor season 12. I personally believe that 4th impact has everything they are looking for in an artist. They just never quit working ,they have a digital foot print in the form of a massive global fanbase and they are extremely talented and excel in live performances. I think 4th impact could be huge.

    Hey I like this video, being single minded is key, also it has to start from the heart, love the music your doing and believe in, and keep going if the music you make keeps you happy.

    I wish I would get signed. I know I can create really good music, but I don't know whether people would like me. All I need is a decent studio, someone to create the instrumentals I want, and promotion from a label, and maybe a little education, but whether people would like me and support me I'm not sure.

      U look like a good looking guy, and that’s pretty much all you need. By your comment I would think you are humble and likable. You can make it for sure but need marketing. Any kind of stupid shit is in the radio today so u should have no problem, unless u try to do art or deep stuff they won’t be interested, but your public will be loyal tho

    But you guys know as well as I do that it is down to who you know in the industry. That’s the fact.

    All those shows such as xfactor got talent and etc are signing people for a draconic contract ... you cant perform your own originals without them taking your royalties....
