Hip-hop artist, Loser X and I will be releasing a hip
hop/nerdcore EP called, “Cerebro EP.”
This album is like listening to a comic book. “Cerebro EP” is dedicated to the Marvel X-Men
character Professor X. This album has
everything a nostalgic nerd wants. We
used content from comic based cartoons, anime shows, and even video games. We plan to release this EP as a free download
to see how the public responds. We plan
to promote the EP at comic, video game, and anime conventions around Tampa and
Orlando in Florida. Our target market is
heavy at these types of conventions. We
also plan to promote the EP on social websites like Facebook and Twitter. I believe that it is great to stay in touch
with fans online and in person. I read
an article from makeitinmusic.com about lessons on how to connect with fans as
an artist. One way to be proactive with
fans is to be approachable. Using
Twitter helps you interact with fans and other professionals in the
industry. Depending on how you use
Twitter, people can see you as a professional and a casual person. Getting to know your fans good because you
can get feedback about your music or you can have the fans participate in the
decision of the next single to be released.
Another way to connect with the fans is to give away free music or
gifts. Now, people, especially fans,
want more “bang” for their money, so you have to give a little extra. For
instance, after the release of our EP, we will give codes to receive a digital
comic book that follows the EP. Staying
positive about your online presence is a plus towards your fans. Everyone likes to criticize or give his or
her own opinions when it comes to music.
Although it comes with the territory, you have to be positive about
other people’s opinions. Although this
EP is a different approach towards hip-hop, it is something new and it will get the
respect it deserves.
