blooddshedd	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 3:17 PM headhuntaz
KevBrock	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 4:05 PM A female artist by the name of Stefanie Newport is my vote on this one. She has lots of potential for the national recording industry.
sinai	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 4:09 PM Rodrica.
onewhodreams	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 5:11 PM http://elu.dmusic.net/ gets my vote
Lcrowley	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 5:24 PM what do you mean by making it ?? making money ?? getting signed? ewww .. or ?
smelv1n	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 6:51 PM i'm gonna make it. wait, are we talking about music?
Veracohr	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 6:58 PM Aside from the issue of what exactly "making it" means, I would say Skender Makota http://skender.dmusic.com/
Distilled1	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 7:00 PM Every one thats happy doing what they are doing... have already made it
Maffmatix	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 8:09 PM singe the nuts. we made it already.
azhazhellfire	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 9:08 PM what Distilled said
invocati	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 9:12 PM Just about anybody except a very few on this sight have the potential to so called making it. Its all how its promoted and advertised. THe music industry came make just about anybody a star if they want to spend the cash and force it down our throats. The music industry is famous for overkill. When I see people going on stage lip singing I know just about anybody can be a huge star...It's if they want to promote ya... if YOU ASK ME IT TAKES ALOT OF LUCK TO BE CHOSEN TO BE A STAR considering just about anybody can be promoted if they have a minimum amount of talent.
dgtzr	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 9:50 PM My son just made in his pants. Does that count?
sinai	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 10:15 PM it should, all things considered.
robin101	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 10:59 PM Please define: "making it". As far as I am concerned, until the record industry stops "milking" the trends - and listens for a change, no one but their: "chosen few" stands a chance.
leflaw	Date: December 21, 2003 @ 11:30 PM Definitely.
sinai	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 12:14 AM so who is the clay aiken among us?!? if anyone really wants that distinction?
thacause	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 12:39 AM depends, you need a unique voice to make it in the industry
ChillinBuzz	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 3:38 AM nah. you dont change for the industry. you make the industry change for you. and if they dont wanna change... well, every beginning has an end and theirs will come. up the Indies
Jennae	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 4:32 AM waht chillin said yep.
ebarbarella	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 8:35 AM it's hard to say just one artist... there are so much talented artist here... my list is long Hope everybody can make it!!
robin101	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 10:19 AM I agree with ChillinBuzz. Already, many of the major labels are showing up in the "red". It's about time. Indies are a force yet to be reckoned with. Let's just say that the industry can either change the "hard way" or the "easy way". Maybe their loss of revenue will be inspirational. Seems to be the only language they understand.
BenRebel	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 11:27 AM 1) I'm guessing if "makin it" is based on mass appeal then thats based more more on money and promotion and its short lived.. 2) If "makin it" is based on units sold then I would say there is a few that I have heard here in DM that has that chance the same chance that others on the indi level have if they're on there grind and learn all aspects of moveing units: The internet(web page ,shoping cart setup) ,shows, Mom and Pops stores internation,local and nation distrbutors and licensing. 3) If makin it is based on being signed to a major then I would say the best this is to see (2) make it there and they will come to you.. you sell 5000 units locally (scanned) trust me some one is watching
BenRebel	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 11:32 AM and I mean !! IF SPIT AND DRIBBLE ON A RECORD AND IT SELLS 5000 AND MORE LOCALY some major label is looking thinking hmm maybe we can make it work.. .. my piont is being on the majors is NOT based on talent its based on IF you can sell units if you can prove you can sells units that will come to you .. (well also if you walk into a major with your LP and say I have $500,000 of my money to invest in my product hehehe they will distribute the product..)
victorsskull	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 1:36 PM I think I can,I think I can nah fuck it!
trillcitypoet	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 4:03 PM anyone can do it.
BenRebel	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 6:27 PM lol @ Victorsskull
RaXDaCapo	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 6:45 PM Given the right opportunity, at the right time anyone can come in and take the industry by storm.
BenRebel	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 9:43 PM or the right amount of money..
victorsskull	Date: December 22, 2003 @ 10:57 PM pfft please if you have money and time then maybe
johnnygnote	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 1:05 AM
Jennae	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 1:05 AM David Elon Preston Marc Salmon Red Delicious for starters
RasMasta	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 8:00 PM A lot of people
Nikki319	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 10:38 PM You're asking this in the age of American Idol making platinum artists and Britney Spears and JLo selling millions of records? Man,all it takes is knowing the right people and being in the right place at the right time,with the right amount of promotion and marketing...talent doesn't have a [bleep]in' thing to do with it anymore. When the Paris Hilton's and Nicole Ritchie's of the world are recording albums...it really doesn't matter how musically gifted you are. If anything...the one's of us that actually have music theory backgrounds,write their own stuff,and want to have a say in their careers don't get signed, because label heads are scared they can't mold them(brainwash)into little million selling barbie and ken pop stars.But that's just my opinion. So I say..every single person on this site could "make it",don't be fooled.
MickeyBreezy	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 10:52 PM i would like 2 think i will make it i just need 2 get my lyrics discovered n someone 2 drop some phat beats 4 me
MickeyBreezy	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 10:53 PM i got the fruity loops downloaded but im still tryin 2 get it rite but i know no one can touch my lyrics
figfarmer	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 10:54 PM I'm a song writer. People have recorded my songs. I'd say that means I've made it. I've been invited and joined the CMA. I've made it there. I think if a songwriter can be found on www.bmi.com they've made it to credibility, like me. If one hears songs one has written on the radio one has made it. No, I'm not Tom Waits, but I don't really wannabe. Larry A. Tilander
MickeyBreezy	Date: December 29, 2003 @ 11:04 PM i spit rap and rite now i havent met anyone that is betta
missvolatile	Date: December 30, 2003 @ 12:27 AM I'm surprised this hasn't been said yet, but Van's guitar playing is going to make it somewhere cool. Hopefully, not your local nu metal radio station, but then again not much played on the radio can compete with some of the stuff I've heard on here from various people.
Izekial	Date: December 30, 2003 @ 12:38 AM I guess Gene could. He's talented enough, anyway. The Pop Dolls are pretty cool to. Ash isn't the most practical artist, but it'd be cool if she put a band together, like a group of skinny, pissed off musicians, with her playing how she plays all the while. That'd be so college, so sweet. Or DB, of course. Hm... Ronnie's band, obviously, or Victor if he got a band. A few, but I haven't heard much, so that's all I can come up with right now.

Pagan	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 2:32 PM making it with who?
Jesuszilla	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 3:34 PM I'm my own worst critic but me me me me me me me me me me me me me me. Nah, I've already made it. I can really see that Of Withering Ashes band making me a great cup of tea, and famous footballer/musician Carlos Vandamanrama (also known as Vandaman) looks like he could make a great cup of coffee.
ashleighj	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 3:42 PM "Ash isn't the most practical artist..." that's seriously like the best compliment i've had in forever.. thank you.
YaBoyDrew	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 4:25 PM I dont think it doesnt depends on who makes the BEST music in here. I bleieve it depends on whoever has the most heart for it, and thats hard 2 tell if you dont know someone personally.
BenRebel	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 5:18 PM If a songwriter can be found on BMI or CMA I'm not sure that means they made it ...I have been with BMI as a writer for 20 years (yea I get those little checks every 6 months lol) a publisher with BMI & ASCAP and a few out side the country and I have co-signed writers into BMI so I know just being a writer with BMI or ASCAP ..well to me don't mean you have made it .. there are two levels of making it to me.. on the most basic level if you write and record a song spit sing and can sit back and enjoy it . personally in your on space you have made it you have taken your talent and made it into something tangable.. on the bigger picture if you write music, lyrics, beats whatever your thing is and some one is willing to pays you for your service for your works "you have made it" (professionally)because thats what defines a professional if you get paid (whatever the amount) to do it.. if you can command a 100,000 people to wave there hands to you song your making it made you famous

sepidman	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 7:14 PM I agree with many comments here. It depends on your defintion of "Made It" is. I know what figfarmer is saying. His definition of made it is pretty basic. Him and I write together and to him the fact that we get royalty cheques from our PRO and that artists have recorded and released some of our tunes to him is made it. I am lucky enough to make a full time living from music so in some terms that means I have made it. We are also promoting a series of Jamborees at a local theatre and will most likley sell them out. Only 700 seats at 16.50 a seat, but hey.....we get to see the name in lights on the marquee and play theatre shows soooooooooo.....guess we made it. Just not that far!
sepidman	Date: January 6, 2004 @ 7:22 PM Funny thing about us indies too. We have more power than many of us ourselves would even like to believe. That ever popular thing in Nashville they call FAN FAIR was started by indies many, many years ago. The majors and the CMA picked up on it and well, the rest is history. Many Country DJ's in Europe play huge amounts of indie stuff because the mainstream services just charge to much to service radio now. And believe me, I know what fig means about hearing your song on the radio. Very cool. Getting letters from DJ's in other countries about you music is cool. And phone calls from friends in other cites who have heard your song on the radio, and from some guy in France at 3AM in the freaking morning wanting to do an on air interview is cool.
