The 10 Commandments of Music

While browsing through articles from a music digest I subscribe to, I came across this. I think it gives EXCELLENT advice for artists. To all my hyper-sensitive Christians, no, I don't find it blasphemous. It creatively makes 10 great points. :)

The 10 Commandments Of Music 2.0


  1. Thou Shalt Not Worship False Prophets - Neither a record deal or auto-tune are your saviors.

  2. Thou Shalt Worship Only One God - He (or she) is called The Fan.

  3. Thou Shalt Giveaway Free Music - Like Jesus and the loaf of bread, give your flock a gift that multiplies as they pass it around.

  4. Thou Shalt Not Steal - Borrowing a beat is one thing, but stealing…

  5. Thou Shalt Blog - Your flock wants to know what you’re doing.

  6. Thou Shalt Create Profiles - Wherever your flock may go, you must be there.

  7. Thou Shalt Upload Photos - Staged, unstaged, backstage, from the stage and at every stage of a project.

  8. Thou Shalt Upload Videos - Longs Ones. Shorts Ones. Tall ones…you get the idea.

  9. Thou Shalt Share Thy Bounty. Share gigs. Share ideas. Share with your fans.

  10. Do Unto Others As You Would Have Others Do Unto You - You meet the same people on the way down that you did on the way up.

    Whoa...heavy but very true stuff. Respect for the post. I'm sure I've covered at least more than half of those commandment. :)But I think I may have to glance at them every once in a while to see if I'm staying on point. ;)
