@Jack79: you said you make your 2 albums free for download,
then how did you make money from that?
i’m just curious. thanks.
@martijn86: true, the ‘good’ thing about Internet downloads nowadays IMO is in the vast array of variety of music suddenly available to our generation nowadays.
but the problem still remains: no matter how many people from many places, or even countries, downloading ur music works, but if these people nowadays didn’t want to buy the original CD/album (they just downloaded all songs for free from internet), then doesn’t that mean the artist/musicians has lost ONE very important ‘income source’, which is, the CD sales?..
or perhaps like you’ve said, the CD sales were usually to fill the pocket of the ‘label guys’ anyway, not the artist/musicians?..
so,..in a sense, ‘free download’ nowadays does help?.. especially in terms of free promotions, worldwide?..
what do u think?

thank you everyone, for your answers!
I appreciate ‘em a lot, as I’ll consider them as my inputs.
so in general, to rephrase,.what would you guys suggest me to do?
1. radical way: go ‘jump’ right-away, move to another country, to start building from zero my music career, internationally, rather than ‘move/progress’ slowly here (while my ‘aim’ is to get my music heard internationally anyway, not just locally) ,
or
2. conventional way: build “portfolio” here locally first (at my home country), while also trying to find some ‘loopholes’ to get my music heard internationally?
or, try not to ‘limit’ , and it’s possible to do BOTH of them at the same time?...
what do u guys think?
thanks.

@Jack: thanks for your response.
fyi, i am still the same “Niki” that asked the music-related questions :)
and yes, my music compositions can be heard here:
http://www.myspace.com/nikiwonotomusic
although it’s mainly instrumental ones, but I’ve also composed/write many other different genres, such as pop, rock, symphonic-pop, jazz, etc. and that’s why i was asking about the “different music project/name” questions earlier about few months ago :)
hope to hear back your advice/input again.
and btw, as i’ve said, I’ve also got positive professional comments from one guy from Geffen Records, U.S (we got to know through Internet), and also in one forum/community that’s filled with professional musicians working with japanese musicians in Japan.
so yes, it’s definitely not only some “nice-touchy” comments from my friends,
but really also from some music Pros/music manager.
this is why/what makes me become more confident in pursuing 100% career in music (i used to doubt myself constantly too-often, that i’ve just ‘wasted’ 5–6 years already, in doing a job that i totally not passionate, and also not very good at: factory business).
what i really need, at this point is, admitedly, a music connections/networks, because i was not from musical background family, so often i found myself have to try hard by myself.. and combined with when i used to constantly doubt myself (& ‘wasted’ my time), it’s why i’ve only progressed so slowly in music, whereas kept constantly getting down, depressed, and just don’t know what to do in life..
but this is all about to change.
that’s why I need to ask for your opinions/inputs/advices, guys.
hope to hear more!
