It’s easier to be a famous singer through internet
I’m pretty sure everybody knows about Susan Boyle, who turned from a nobody to a huge somebody, after appearing in the TV programme Britain’s Got Talent on 11 April 2009 and shot to fame.
Her performance led to great international media and of course the Internet and YouTube response.
In fact, any budding singers or ambitioned singers should look into spreading their gigs on the Internet, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, blog etc on top of existing performances in concerts, cafes etc.
It doesn’t matter where you’re from even if you only perform at home, the internet is a cheap and valuable way to fame.
Search for “Janice and Sonia”, by the time you typed ‘Jani’, the suggestion would have appeared.
Janice and Sonia are Australian twins and according to their Facebook fan page, it was stated they are still unsigned. I have no doubt they will be easily picked up as signed singers if they wanted to.
And then there’s this cute girl with her self recorded singing video spreading in Facebook, which turns out to be one Yu Kiu, Ava (Bianca) from Hong Kong.
She is a new singer in 2009 who launched a Sabah shot album back in Hong Kong.
And then back to local front, we have Malaysian singer-songwriter Zee Avi who had her debut album produced by a US record company, and hit the charts at #130 US Billboard Hot 200 Chart and #2 US Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart, and sold 6,000 copies in the United States in its first 2 weeks of release(as of June 9, 2009) according to Wikipedia.
How did she pulled that off?
Avi posted a video of her first song on YouTube in September 2007.
Now you think that’s easy? Don’t get too excited first.
It does look to me that most of the success stories are women in the first place, looks nice and sings well.
Many can try, but I’m not sure if they’ll succeed.
We’ll see their video views on YouTube.
