Genres of music including rock, pop, classical, punk, electronic, world, jazz, reggae and hip hop. People can like all sorts of music, but often only listen to one or two genres. Aretha Franklin was an excellent musician, one of the best ever.

How do you become a musician?

Also, study music theory, music education, musical history or music performance as it’ll expand your knowledge. A strong work ethic and skills will help you achieve your dreams of becoming a musician. Try to gain exposure through auditions, recitals or through your school.

How do musicians make money?

Musicians make money from music through various sources. They traditionally make money by recording and writing music, and earn royalties by their music being played by different venues. They also make money by performing that music live and advertising it. Musicians can further make money by producing other artists music. Today musicians can expand their money revenues through merchandise, movies and TV licensing, and fashion and perfume lines.

What are common qualities in a successful musician?

Bob Marley
Height comparison diagram of Bob Marley compared to other musicians

Bob Marley is a famous Jamaican musician and one of the greatest pioneers of Reggae music. Known as a Rasta icon, Bob Marley’s career began in the early 1960s with his music group “Bob Marley and the Whalers”. In the early 1970s, the group hit the road on tour after landing a contract with Island Records. In his short lifetime, Bob Marley sold over 20 million records and became the first internationally famous musician to come from a 3rd world country.

Unfortunately, Bob Marley developed cancer in 1977 and died at the age of 36. He was buried in a Chapel in Jamaica with his guitar. His final words to his son were, “Money can’t buy life”. Bob Marley fused spirituality into his music and spoke of peace and oneness, inspiring generations to come long after his death.
