Smart independent music producers and musicians now make music, distribute music worldwide, and reap the rewards of their creations. Would you like to do the same?

My name is Marius van Dyk and I've created this website to share with you ideas, strategies, techniques and resources you can use to develop your music and also your business as an independent musician and producer.

Now, we know the career path we independent music producers and musicians choose to follow is a tough one to walk because it requires a ton of practice, patience, determination and persistence.

We also don't, at least not when we start out, have the luxury of others taking care of the business side of music while we focus only on our craft.

It's definitely not a path for everyone! You have to take full responsibility for your own success and follow through with conscious actions to create your music and build the business and career you want.

There's no way to get around this, so music producers and musicians looking for quick solutions or shortcuts may as well look elsewhere because there's no voodoo you can do to make your tracks hits, no magic dust you can sprinkle to unlock your inner genius.

Great musicians and music producers are creative and have a professional work ethic and love for music. This is common sense; the more you work at something the better you get.

So, why this website?

This website is a way to connect with and help as many other musicians and producers who take action to create the music-business-life they envision.

You'll find all the information on this site tailored to the needs and wants of independent music producers and musicians who want to improve their music and businesses.

You'll discover practical ideas, articles and recommended resources to help you create your own music and build various music-related income sources to fund the music-business-life you want to create.

You won't find much information about how to land old-school record and publishing deals. Music producers and musicians need to move beyond old paradigms of the archaic pre-Web music business game and start to use the ability we now have to advance our music and business with the Web.

Yes, the Web is still a baby! The nature of the music business has changed and keeps changing since the arrival of the Web. You can't predict the future even a few years from now at this rate of change.

You can however choose to learn what you need to know about this new technology and how you can use it, and then take definite actions to create the music-business-life you want.
