From James Woo, soft.com.sg
Here’s a video of a presentation given during MusicCamp SG earlier this year by serial (music) entrepreneur Derek Sivers entitled “Musicians and Entrepreneurs”, held at The Pigeonhole Cafe (editor: which we happened to have featured before). Best known for founding CD Baby, Sivers – who spoke before at TED – shares his experiences as a musician and music entrepreneur:
soft.com.sg is a website dedicated to the local music industry in Singapore. It provides a platform for musicians, music lovers, educators, dealers and event organizers to come together and share their knowledge with fellow users.
Musicians pretty much have to be entrepreneurs too. It’s the only hope they have of making a life out of their craft without having someone else’s thumb on their neck stiffing their potential for creative expression.
Yes they have to, although I’d have to say not all are. A musician can only be an entrepreneur if he/she applies himself/herself beyond creation of music and into distribution and promotion as well.
Otherwise they’d just be a craftsman…
