Hey there, music lovers! 🎵 Welcome to my channel! In this 10-minute video, I'll be sharing a personal journey that many musicians can relate to - conquering the fear of making demands. But first, let me tell you about this exciting opportunity I've had this past year collaborating with the amazing celebrity chef Tiffany Derry at Roots Southern Table in Dallas. 🍽️
As my music business grows, I've had to turn down gigs almost every month, prompting a crucial decision. My team and I have decided to approach the restaurant for a 20% raise in my rate for 2024. It's a risky move, but essential for the exponential growth of my solo career, considering the significant increase in my performance rate since 2021. 💰📈
In this video, I'll be your guide through the process of preparing for important conversations, making necessary mindset shifts, and employing effective strategies to present your case confidently, whether it's about rates or any other aspect of your music career.
