I was recently looking at some home videos posted on YouTube and I found myself wondering about those wannabe artists who want themselves and their songs to be exposed to the outside world! Do they really manage to get their songs out into the public and have other people listen and appreciate to it? Or are their songs stuck in their heads or in their garages or bedrooms for that matter? Do these artists really have any recording connection with anyone who can record and show their songs to another public?

Because of online multimedia tools and sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and such, rising new artists are able to record and show their work to a much greater audience than before. They not only show their work to people in their city or region, but also throughout their own countries and even the rest of the world. Their audiences can also immediately react on their songs, allowing them direct feedback on their work. I absolutely think that this whole online artist profile allows the artist to not only show their work, react on the reactions to their work, but also right immediately thank and give the necessary information to their soon-to-be fans...

In my own honest opinion, the internet allows a more even battlefield for new and known artists. It allows them to show their fans who's who and what they can offer the thousands of people who sign up to be their audiences... Quite easily they are but an arm's length away from people who support them. Technology does make things easier for everyone!
