If after you explain your music to someone and breakdown the interesting personal details of why it’s good and then they respond with…
“AH HA! I get it! I’ll buy a concert ticket, a t-shirt, and vinyl versions of all your albums!!”
…you’re going to have a lot of explaining to do.
It’s awesome if you can make that pitch and get that response but that means you have to build your audience one ‘explaining session’ at a time.
It’ll work a lot better if you don’t have to explain anything, if they can ‘get it’ just by listening.
So back track for a second…With the music you have right now, what added explaining do you need to give with it, or are tempted to give with it?
And the obvious next question is: What do you have to change about the music to negate the need for the explaining?
