Let's just say Plan A, best case scenario. You become the brand and the artist. You find a genre where the money is at. You travel the world and DJing gigs and making money. The dreams of the main stage are fulfilled.
Me on the other hand, not to be negative, but you eventually find out if that life is for you. I don't know if I'm a introvert or just pick up on bullshit fast, but I get the feeling that people in the industry are not out for your best interest and everyone is clawing their way up to become the next headliner on the main stage. For me, my answer is... MAYBE without getting burnt out within the couple of years vs how strong your brand is that gives you how long your shelf life is going to be.
What are the alternatives and who actually makes more money? I'm talking about the people behind the scenes.
Everyone is so focused on headlining the main stage, but for me, I don't want to do what everyone is doing. I want more fair share in going out there and expressing my artistic flair in music in a genre that probably is not as popular (UK BASS, Selected, Nightbass, Tech House, Dirty Bird) as main stream edm or dubstep bass culture in LA at least.
What is plan B?
TLDR. Other ways of making money besides being a artist with production.
