Music as a career
I'm in 11th grade and ive relatively had success being a singer by posting covers on the site Youtube. I got up to 60,000+ views in each video without telling my friends about it, because i was doing popular songs so it was easy for people around the world to find me without promoting myself. But soon stopped. I'm not sure if should go to college for the music program, or keep making videos and hope some producer finds me like a lot of other artists that have been discovered. #music #singer

My suggestion: go to college. You can still make the YouTube videos in college and hope to get picked up. Best thing to remember is no matter how many people have been found on YouTube or other social media platform, there are countless others who are not. And for those who do get picked up, how many of them DON’T make it? You hear about the ones who made it, but nobody talks about the ones who didn’t
Going to school for a music program, and adding in some business classes, will only help you get better with your craft, and will give you the knowledge to help you negotiate contracts.
