XXI century and its chances.

Music is in many places. Considering the importance of social networks and websites, maybe that is why music can reach more people in record time nowadays.

A few years ago, when there was no internet, everything was more complicated.  For instance, we could observe the case of Rodriguez, known because of the awarded movie Searching for Sugar Man.

The movie tells the story of this man (called Sixto Rodriguez) who tried to live in the complicated music world in the 60's. He recorded an album which had not any success in the States but, his work was better received in  South Africa where he became a mass idol. He did not know it and gave up.

Years after he was discovered thanks to a investigation which was done by Stephen Segerman y Craig Strydom.

Internet is also a good tool used by many people to reach audiences that, in other way, they couldn't.

One representative example of this is the case of Justin Bieber who got famous thanks to Youtube. Now he has 55,3 M of followers on Twitter  , 1.092.274.627 visits on Youtube, etc.

There are a lot of websites where you can search the songs that have been with you all your life like 

Spotify or sites where unknown artists upload their covers or original songs such as Soundcloud.

Here is an example of a cover made by Hilman Mustafa of Demons.

Furthermore, there are websites that give the latest news in music like, for example MTV which is also a TV channel or the most important magazine in music's world: Rolling Stone .

After this, do you still doubting that you do not have the chance in music's world?

Here are the chances that gives the XXI century.
