Es vital conocer los diversos roles de la industria musical, no se trata solo de cantar. Los equipos de trabajo que rodean cualquier proyecto artístico son diversos y conformados por profesionales de diversas industrias. De ese modo, cuando el artista comprende esta cantidad de roles asociados a su proceso de producción musical, a su día a día, y a sus shows en vivo, reconoce los diversos caminos profesionales que se involucran.

En cuestión de desarrollo de habilidades, a mí me ha resultado muy útil desarrollar la parte de habilidades sociales o habilidades blandas para llevarlas hacia la industria de la música, e incluso a otras industrias, ya que al ser un conjunto de habilidades que no se ense?an en el sector académico o mejor dicho que se perfeccionan mejor fuera de las aulas es un conjunto de herramientas que pueden no ser fáciles de encontrar en todas las personas. Recomiendo para este grupo de características necesarias en toda industria buscar formas alternativas de desarrollo de las mismas, en mi caso funcionaron muy bien los talleres de liderazgo, talleres de teatro, talleres de impro, y un sinfín de talleres de arte.

Attend events, engage with colleagues, and connect on social media. Be genuine in your interactions and express your career aspirations. The relationships you build can lead to mentorships, collaborations, and job opportunities that may not be advertised publicly.
