The SXSW 2023 music conference has come and gone, leaving behind a trail of insights and trends that are set to shape the future of the music industry. One of the main takeaways from this year’s conference is the notion that artists are no longer just \u201cartists\u201d but \u201ccreators\u201d. This shift in nomenclature reflects a broader transformation taking place in the music industry, where artists are expected to do more than just make music. In this blog post, we will explore this shift in more detail and explain why you should see yourself as \u201ccreator\u201d in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As a music creator, you\u2019re not limited to only audio NFTs, although you could create an NFT of a live song your fans heard at one of your recent concerts, y<\/span>ou can also create virtual merch NFTs that your fans\u2019 avatars can wear in games and metaverses such as Solana’s Portals, Ethereum’s Sandbox and more. Furthermore, platforms such as MerchNFT are bridging the gap between the metaverse and IRL by enabling creators to offer NFTs with physical merch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Rae Isla, a singer-songwriter, shared her insights at the \u2018Music and Web3: Everything You Always Wanted to Know\u2019 SXSW panel<\/b>, highlighting the importance of learning about web3, minting your own NFTs for superfans, collecting bitcoin and other crypto currencies on your merch stores, placing your music on decentralized streaming platforms, and creating Twitter space events to engage your superfans and encourage discovery. Rae Isla is currently on her Rae Isla’s Web3 Tour, which is the first-ever collectible tour, and it’s a great example of how you can embrace new technology to engage your superfans and stand out in a crowded market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Pareto principle specifies that 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes. In our<\/span> case, an artist’s rule can be seen as 80% of their revenue will come from 20% of their fans otherwise known as \u2018superfans\u2019. In other words, putting the necessary work into creating an emotional connection and engaging with this group through music and content will be invaluable for generating revenue and career longevity. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Industry professionals are urging artists to become, or consider themselves, as \u2018creators\u2019 in order to thrive and create a steady career that isn’t dependent on the paltry sums of music streaming and the unpredictable nature of touring. Modern technology has provided an uncapped amount of avenues for musicians to connect with their most dedicated fans and create lasting impressions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In conclusion, the music industry is changing rapidly, and artists must adapt to these changes if they want to succeed. By embracing technology, engaging with their superfans, and thinking of themselves as creators rather than just artists, they can build successful careers in the music industry.
