Beginning;
We used to believe that anyone could be star if they had enough talent, and pushed throughly to pursue their goals.
I’m a celebrity DJ for many of today’s acclaimed superstars, and bad acquisitions of becoming a star often are topics of discussion.
These bad acquisitions consist of the following; Marketability, Talent, and Funding.

Hook/attention grabber:
How many of you in the audience have ever heard of the following learning styles; Visual, Logical, Aural, Physical, and verbal?
This is very important in because some of us are visual, logical, aural, physical, and verbal learners.
Most importantly these learning styles play a huge part when determining a musicians adaptability within the music industry.

3. There’s no specific
evidence to support how to
become a star within the
music industry.

The Big Idea:
There’s no specific evidence to support how to become a star within the music industry.
But as we continue to talk, and look through music theories, and possible, but unjustifiable evidence.
I’ll suggest what you should look for, and do when beginning your musical career towards stardom.

4. So what exactly are these theories saying?
Musicians are more successful without the help of
Record labels.

The Big Idea:

Why my audience should listen to me?
I’m a celebrity DJ for many of today’s acclaimed superstars for over 3 years, and know how to determine where musicians work best.
I’ve been able to experience what it’s like to be a solo artist, and a main stream artist on tour.
Lastly, I’m considered a major addition to many musicians, because as a DJ I’m required to keep each performance orderly.

“But why do we believe it? Why does fame seem so accessible and even inevitable”? (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/item_boFqZzkbcCjBdHxgSKbTQN)
“Why do, according to a USA Today poll, 51% of 18 to 25 year olds say that "to be famous" is among their generation's greatest goals, as opposed to "help[ing] people who need help" (30%) or
"becom[ing] leaders in their community" (22%) (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/item_boFqZzkbcCjBdHxgSKbTQN)
One of the main reason why many of today’s children (musicians) are also falling into this gap.

13. Many successful musicians suffer from poor parenting,
and lack of exposure to extra curricular activities which
force them into wanting to become something that their
not. In-stead of pursuing their own ambitions, and goals
towards success.
