If you’re an artist, and even if you didn’t get a nomination, you can still be part of the social media buzz, and show your support to the music industry, your friends and colleagues, and it’s going to make you feel good. Here are 5 reasons why:
Community Building: Supporting other artists, especially those nominated for big awards like the JUNOs, helps create a strong community in the music world. When artists cheer on and celebrate each other’s achievements, it makes for a friendly and supportive atmosphere that helps everyone feel good.
Networking Opportunities: When artists show support for JUNO nominees on social media, it can lead to making important connections. They can meet other musicians, people who work in the music industry, and fans who also like the nominees. These connections might lead to chances to work together, make deals, or get noticed in the future.
Reciprocity: By cheering on fellow musicians, artists often find that kindness comes back to them. When they actively support and celebrate other artists, they’re more likely to get similar support when they release new music, go on tour, or try new things in their careers. It’s like a friendly circle where everyone helps each other out.
Elevating the Industry: Adding to the excitement around the JUNO Awards and the artists nominated raises the whole music industry up. When Canadian artists and their music get more attention, it not only boosts the reputation of individual musicians but also highlights the variety and talent in Canadian music overall. This is good for all artists, whether they’re up for awards or not.
Inspiration and Motivation: Paying attention to the success of JUNO nominees can inspire and encourage artists who haven’t been nominated themselves. Seeing other musicians get recognized for their hard work can push artists to keep getting better and aim for their own successes. It shows that with dedication, hard work, and supporting each other, everyone can achieve their goals in music.
So, put the spotlight on your favourite nominee, performer or anything you can think of – it’ll be worth a post or two…
