Hi. I intern at recording studio/do music producing myself. I'm learning more about music business/promo at the moment and would love to work with you. To get solid fanbase, you should focus on building solid relationships with other music artists, because they will always know people/have their own fans (A lot of artists are "internet glued musicians" and don't network enough offline. Rappers on youtube are always posting comments to check out there stuff lol.). You could simply post a classified seeking artists to produce a album for. At first you can work for free, but than as it grows charge/receive new fans . Check out music venue sites to create your own "mini tour," sites list all states with locations/booking contacts (example is U.S, music venue sites are in many places if you are not in states). Just a couple simple ideas. Thank you.
