Use video sites like YouTube and Vimeo to get your name out there. Even if you don’t have professional music videos, you can still create videos using images and text to tell the story of your song to get it out to the public. A talent agency understands how to help you edit videos if you are struggling. Without videos on YouTube people booking talent won’t be able to find out. Statistics show that clubs and event promoters booking talent will go on YouTube before any other social media site to look for up and coming artists. If you’re just starting out you should also post personal videos on your YouTube channel so people will know that you are accessible to your fans.

There are a lot of sites that host music and the current hot place used by booking agents to upload your music is ReverbNation. ReverbNation, and sites like it give you the chance to upload music with ease and it sends an immediate status update every-time you upload a new song or album. ReverbNation also helps a talent agency because it has options to create a press kit and set up a store to sell your music. ReverbNation also allows you to reach people booking talent through promotional campaigns.

Don’t Account Protect Your Twitter

One of the most common and confusing thing that performers something do is sign up for a Twitter account and then protect it from the general public. Being picky about who can follow you sends a message that you’re not serious about connecting with fans. Remember that you are on Twitter to sell your brand to the public, and you can’t do that if you’re not accessible. A talent agency or booking agent will never be able to take your career to the next level if you can’t connect with the public. If you have something private to share, create a personal Twitter account that’s just for you and your friends/family.

Only Use Social Media You Will Actually Use

Another tip that works for a talent agency like The Associates Firm is to only use social media that you will actually use and that’s right for your goals. Pinterest might be great for someone who wants to be a chef, but it may not be the right choice for a musician. There are dozens of social media sites out there, as a booking agent we encourage our clients to use a few that they like using and will be consistently updated. Know where your potential fans are on social media and connect only on those sites. Typically for musicians or Djs a talent agency will tell you that Facebook and Twitter will be your best options. But others like Tumblr and Reddit may be good choices as well. And don’t forget video sites like YouTube, Vimeo and others provide you with a way to spread your music and record personal messages for your fans.

Connect with Social Media

Once you have the right social media accounts set up make sure that you are actually connecting with people. Once you achieve a larger fan base your talent agency might help you with this, but you should always take the time to use your own social media. Remember that social media is supposed to be “social” so when someone comments on a video or a post, or gives you a RT on Twitter, respond to that person. Make them feel like you care about them and your public image will improve.

While social media has improved how people can spread their message to the public, if you don’t use it right then you will actually do more harm to your career than good. The Associates Firm is a talent agency that can help you with selling yourself to the public. We are a talent agency with proven results and we have the vision and connections to take your career to the next level.

One thing that will help you to get a talent agent is having a resume. When you’re starting your career think of your future like you would with a regular job. Talent agency professionals want you to be professional when approaching them and the first step in that process is sending in a resume that stands out from the rest. There are lots of different resume coaches out there if you’re writing is not your strong point.

A lot of talented people struggle to find a talent agency because they don’t have some other factor that motivates them. A talent agency will not take on a new client if the agency doesn’t think the client has proper motivation. Talent alone is one aspect to success. When meeting with a potential talent agent you need to highlight what you’re doing to make your career take off. Talk about all the times you stayed up all night writing lyrics, composing new beats, practicing a new instrument, etc. If you’re serious about your career, talk about the sacrifices you’ve made to make it happen (i.e. You moved to New York and have been working odd jobs, going to concerts to make connections, etc). A good talent agent will see these qualities and know the person is serious about their career.

In addition to getting a talent agent to notice you, you also should be aware of fake agencies. If your talent agent doesn’t seem professional, don’t be so desperate that you’ll say yes to anyone. If the talent agent doesn’t have you in a studio, promoting your work, or performing within six months you should look for someone else.

Singer Devyn Rose hypes up the upcoming music video of her latest single “Pieces” by releasing behind-the-scene footage. At the start of the clip, the singer who previously recorded under the moniker Tanya T6 states, “Pieces is about leading someone on, being a part of a rebound relationship, and having to explain to the person that they were just there to fill a void, just to make the break up easier”.

Taking a new approach with things, Devyn plans to release a series of 3 song EPs in three installments starting with the digital EP, “I AM DEVYN ROSE: D.E.V.Y.N.”, which features the lead single “Pieces”, and is due to be released in October, with the second and third installments arriving in November and December.

After releasing several buzz singles “Fly Away” and “Silhouette” off her “Pieces” EP, Harlem Singer/Songwriter Tanya T6 is currently finishing up her new mixtape, “Watch Me Take It” dropping July 4, 2012, which is led by the single “World Is Mine”
