There are lots of ways to break into the music world. If you don’t want to jump right to Spotify, try sites like SoundCloud. Promote your music via social media, and reach out to other artists about collabs. You could also start your own YouTube channel!

Well to tell you the truth it is very difficult to get singled out in the music industry when you are one in thousands trying to become famous. The best thing you can do is go to every event there holding talk to other artis talk to the local radio stations even if there digital. This a great of getting your name out there. Best of luck

Think about what you are trying to achieve by speaking. If your goal is to tell someone about your music, try to think about one take away you would like that person to remember and try to practice thinking about ways to communicate that. Don't be afraid to be assertive: look people in the eye, use 'I' statements and be as clear as possible. Practice before hand too! It may sound dorky, but practicing in a mirror, your webcam or on your phone camera will help you get the words out.
Also a big part of being heard is hearing others. Be an active listener, if you nod and really participate when other people are talking to you, it will be easier for them to do the same when its your turn. You will also be able to relate what they're saying to themes in your own life.

Hi Amur,
Great question. No matter what type of instrument you play or style of music you are creating/composing, social media is a great way to start by getting others to experience, enjoy and listen to your music.
Tik Tok and Instagram are two great platforms where musicians are able to showcase their creative and unique styles and get others to follow their accounts.
In my personal experience, these platforms are where you can start gaining followers. It's pretty easy to set up an account and then you can start recording your music and tagging it with relevant keywords/hashtags like upcomingartist or newmusic.
On the other side of things, if you are comfortable with it (and check with your parents first) open mics are a great way to gain an audience and an ear to your music. You can try searching "open mics near me" on Google or in Facebook and that could help get you started.
Hope this helps!
