When you listen to MTV and you
see the life of rock stars you can’t help but wonder how they managed to
achieve fame, money and luxury and also have the chance to roar their believes
in front of millions of people in just a few years. It is not hard to make a
rock band. Becoming famous is a completely different matter.
Obviously, you need to be good at
singing or playing an instrument. You should find people who can fit to your
style and make your music sound complete.
One
very important thing is that your band has a cool name that draws attention. It
should sound both a little violent and a little mysterious so people would
wonder what does it mean or what is the story behind it. Then you can come up
with an astonishing story that sounds almost unbelievable. People will want to
believe anyway. Like for example Wolf
sweetheart could be linked with the dark forest you got lost in, while
playing the guitar and suddenly a whole wolf’s pack surrounded you, because you
turned out to be in their territory, but your music calmed them and you walked
out unharmed. You grasped the main idea, right? We can only guess what could be
the story behind My bloody valentine.
Once
you have a band of great players and a cool name, you have to find in your
heart what you really want to sing about. Successful rock songs are deep, they
tell a story, they send a message and that message brings feelings. Just like
jazz musicians wrote their best songs when feeling down, rock stars need to
suck from the same inspiration. The music you create must be something that you
like and you would listen to with joy.
When
you have your first songs written you have to practice them a lot so every word
and every tone find their best position. Don’t hesitate to sing on stage even
if it is not the big stage of your dreams. Little stages help you to adjust to
singing live in front of people and that prepares you for the next challenge –
the real rock concert. Also, word tends to spread and if you are really lucky
you might be heard and then found.
Becoming
a rock star is a long path, but if you are willing to do your best and if that
is exactly what you want to achieve, you will get there.
