Were you a struggling Haitian musician?We
probably all were and in some aspects we probably still are. I remember
the days when there were no way of selfpromoting your Haitian music.
And recording a quality Haitian music was VERY expensive, the only
option was to pay recording time in a studio (usually by the hour) with
fancy analog recording gear and a large console.But times are changing...Opportunities are equaly available for everyone now.The
Haitian Music Industry is changing fast, every day we depend more on
technology to make Haitian music and this technology is increasingly
within reach of everyone. Thus, the big name record companies are
sweating, now any Haitian with creativity and a computer can make quite a
professional production. Due to these technological advances,
especially in software, and to piracy, now it is even more difficult for
an Haitian artist to get signed by a renowned label. The big record
companies analyze moreover before investing in an Haitian artist and
every year there are less new Haitian artists and Haitian Groups being
launched by these big corporations.The
solution? HMILive. There are so many Haitian social networking
sites today on the web that have adapted to this increasing phenomenon,(Ayiwood, Kreyolnetwork, and Muziklakay, portals that have seen this need
to be heard by talented undiscovered Haitian artists and have created
spaces to upload music, videos, bios, etc. without
a big label investing, there is no big budget for promotion and
advertising. How is anyone going to buy your album if they don't know
you exist?This
is where every artist's creativity must kick in and take advantage of
all the free options on the web (Ayiwood, Muziklakay and HMILive).
There are unsigned Haitian bands out there that I've never heard of
before but are making well over a million dollars a year! It CAN be
done.There is a site called HMILive where artists upload their music, fans download their songs for FREE Here
are some more great resources that can take your music production and
promotion to the next level Musician Resources HMILive I hope you found this information and links very useful and good luck!
