In 2024, it’s never been easier for composers to enter the film music industry!
Thanks to so many resources readily available (looking at you social media đź‘€), we can share our music with the world in a matter of minutes!
The bad news? Since it’s so easy to get started, the market is incredibly saturated. Your music is already EXPECTED to be great.
❌ That means your music alone isn’t enough to set you apart!
And I think that’s why the XYZ Composer Formula is so effective!
It’s basically a 3-part statement that helps you get super focused on what you do, what you value, and where your strengths lie!
“I help X achieve Y by offering Z”
Let’s break it down:
X: Who is your target audience?
Y: What is the transformation you offer?
Z: What is your unique method?
What I like about the formula is that it makes us reflect on our values and what we actually bring to the table for potential clients!
It goes beyond just…
"I write music. I’m a film composer."
With the formula, we can take a big, scary concepts like finding a niche or standing out…
And break them down into 3 actionable things that you can reflect on.
