If you are looking forward to getting a music career, there are industry myths and misconceptions you should know of so that your expectations and career remain as real as possible. Here are some of the most common misconceptions you hear about the music industry: 1. Overnight Sensations Let's eliminate this misconception once and for all: Overnight sensations are a myth in every industry. Sometimes it might seem like someone emerged overnight, but when you dig a little deeper, you'll find that every artist works for years before they "blew up overnight." So, even though you may not have heard of them until now, it doesn't mean they haven't been working for years to finally make it. 2. You Have To Be Naturally Talented The old "innate talent vs. hard work" argument. There's a huge misconception that everyone who makes it as a musician was born naturally talented, and people often think that they can't become a good singer or guitar player because it doesn't come "naturally." That couldn't be further from the truth. Every artist you have ever listened to has spent a bulk of their life perfecting their craft. No one just rolls out of bed and sells millions of albums.
