WHY DO MUSICIANS USE SOCIAL MEDIA?
13
DJ SELFHELP

“I find the best way is to just make it available to people and don't try to shove it down their throats, and then with social media, just kind of
create a memorable and entertaining channel comprised of media and unique personality that people can relate to
and will want to tune into. and hopefully they'll decide to listen to my stuff. but its ultimately up to them. the more you have to ask people to listen, the lesser will become the perceived value attached to it.”

“IT’S A TRADEOFF. TAKE OUR MUSIC, BUT IF YOU LOVE IT, TELL THE WORLD ABOUT IT.”
• Facebook’s Open Graph Platform
• Allows developers to share information and tailor offers• You’re more like to do something if your friends are doing
it
• 2010 Facebook + Voting Study• “Helps to keep the artist relevant and current in the minds
of their fans, constant flood of material” - @MIDDYtheMOGUL

CONCLUSION
IT’S ALL ABOUT CONNECTING*
And creating good material. Good material usually wins out.
40
ALL OF THESE TOOLS EXIST BECAUSE FANS WANT TO BE CLOSER, MORE CONNECTED TO THE ARTISTS THAT THEY ADMIRE. WHAT MAKES THEM STAY, AND WHAT MAINTAINS THEIR INTEREST IS THE AUTHENTICITY OF HOW THE ARTISTS INTERACT.
