How to "MAKE IT" and build a fanbase

There is many theories on how to build your fanbase as a newcomer into the music industry, you can showcase your music alone, which if it's good enough and you know basic of marketing you can build a fanbase around that.

Another approach is in case you music isn't quite a the level of attracting people by itself, you can use social media and livestreaming (not necessarily music) to build a fan base around your personna helping you grow at the same time as your music.

Keep working on yourself, and start to learn as many craft as possible in order to stand out.
