Self Management and Mindset for Musicians - by Mike del Ferro
12 Claim Your Spotlight: Put your own (Artist) name out there first!
In this episode, I dive into a powerful yet often overlooked principle in building a sustainable music career: putting your own artist name out there first. Whether you're collaborating, producing, or performing, making sure your name is visible and credited is key to long-term recognition and growth.
I’ll explain why this mindset shift is essential—not ego-driven, but career-smart—and how it can change the way you're seen (and remembered) in the industry.
