The music industry has gone too far and there are significant changes over the years, while I was reading about the shifting of traditional music into being digital I was quite surprise to know how music has been up-graded/modernised in order to be in-line with today's generation or today's ever-changing technology society.
This has shown a marvellous results to most successful artists worldwide particularly in the United State, Also here in South Africa there are artists who has adapted/moved from being traditional into being digital, the likes of Dj Cleo-is one of the South African artist who showed a massive and significant growth and change, however this brings lot of benefits both to the artist,and its audience.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS
  • 
    ABOVE: Music has gone from being
    traditional to being digital.

    By uploading your music on internet-helps your music to be more eassly accessable everywhere,as we we know, music stores and CDs are sometimes take time to be distributed in all corners of the country.
  • The media will play your single even though you didn't release the full album, this helps you to be more familiar to your fans and to the media. When you release your album you will be already known, this includes the likes of Toya Delayz.
  • More downloads results in more reputation, we know lot of artists through iTunes, downloads not by buying their music from traditional music shops.
In overall, the media has also changed, particurly radio and television as they also gone into being digital, so it is advisable to our artists to adopt digital music, so that the media will be able to get their tracks played immediately after they have released it, there are downloads options, online( youtube) and many options you can use to widen your music immediately.

  1. I find it so interesting that digital media is the best tool because it creates a better interaction with others so by adapting to it you may even get the attention of those who were not even aware of your company to know all about it within a minute unlike advertising in print media and a bill board

  7. people who play an important role are radio DJs, who can make any music to be famous, most of my music i first hear from radio and go for download, at the first attempt i thought was ilegal but since i saw the number of awards DJ cleo took just for download.
