The music industry can be a cut throat thing to be involved in. It can also be quite difficult to make it big in such a business. Though with the proper schooling, knowledge, and strategy it’s possible to make a name for yourself. Usually the cause of failure for trying to achieve a thriving singing career is due to the fact that some people don’t do the correct research. Most just aim for a luck of the draw sort of scenario. Yes, you may do your research, get the correct schooling and never succeed but you’ll be more likely to go farther knowing how to go about achieving your goals.

This means they may be able to sing as well as play instruments (“Get” para. 6). Being a multitalented performer usually takes more practice to master (“Get” para. 6).

A person in this career usually works as a soloist or member of a band or vocal group (“Singer” para. 2).

Though The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz was written years ago, the idea of materialism, and measuring one's success by their possessions is also a prominent theme in pop culture in the West. Luxurious and excessive lifestyles are in, perpetuated by "blinged out" rap artists and rock stars who own multiple houses, and drive unnecessarily large and expensive sport utility vehicles and sports cars. Pop music has evolved throughout the 20th Century, and has now gotten to a point where it's not just music, but an industry. Singers are actors and vice versa. To make it big in the music industry you not only have to have talent, but a strong business sense, and your own clothing line, of course.

Pop music has long been defined by “idols” and superstars that are subjects of high levels of adoration from severely devoted fans, whose love of these superstars often blurs the line between fandom and obsession. This love is mainly based off of physical looks and charm more often than actual musical talent, as majority of the songs written by these massive superstars are not written by the artists themselves, instead by people hired to write for these artists in a way that will best connect with a crowd willing to spend their money on these manufactured stars. Therefore, it has become evident that in the world of popular music, image has overtaken talent as the determining factor of success in the industry. Instead of skill and songwriting ability, good looks and the ability to draw large crowds of impressionable people have become the main factors of fame in music.

She segued from her bedroom to singing, well, whenever and wherever she could-starting in church singing gospel music, and on to festivals, then singing country music at fairs and talent contests-until she was discovered by Arista Records.
