Branching Out

[djhead]

One of the many things I want to do with my fledgling studio is expand my marketability to the hopeful hip hop crowd. I am not well versed in the genre, but I have my faves, Method, Xzibit, Snoop.. Anyway, I THINK i have the capacity to make beats, with a MIDI keyboard and both Fruity Loops and Cubase LE. And I am pretty well versed musically, I used to make trance and dance stuff all the time. Now my stuff is good, but I wonder if I am missing anything, and how I should approach the marketing aspect. The whole thing, actually is pretty foreign, but here is Georgia, a lot of youngsters got stars in their eyes, and I think I can help, which is why I got into this in the first place, so How about it?

your question is kind of vague.What are you trying to do sell beats?open up a small recording studio,do a indy project?

More like make a clientele I know very little about, but am confident I can offer quality product to, aware and interested in the opportunity to create their own music.

Meet people... Beat battles, open mic nights, small time hip hop shows... Bring a friend.. no.. really.. bring a friend. it will help immensely...

cheers
