Recording Artist and Performing Artists
Many people don’t understand the difference between a recording artist and a performing artist, let alone recognize that the two are not correlated. There is a difference between being a recording artist and being a performing artist; title says it all. Very few have mastered both realms, and those who have are legends.
What young artist need to understand, and I stress this to my artists all the time, they need to have something that isn’t on the CD or the album. They need to have something that is going to keep fans wanting to see them live in concert over and over again. If a fan goes to see an artist live and their concert sounds exactly like what they heard on album…what’s the point of going to the concert when there is nothing special about the show. You’re just paying to hear the album extra loud.
