If you're nosy, keep watching because I brought receipts :) If we haven't met hi, I'm Piper a marketer and musician building my career in New York City. I came out with my singles this summer and I'm an independent artist meaning I have no fancy record label funding me. It's all me. Financial transparency is so important in the entertainment business, so I thought I'd share. I get this email from Good Day New York inviting me to perform and interview. My information is below. Can we set a time to talk to see what may be possible? Thanks. Sr. Entertainment Producer Good Day New York And immediately wanted to do it. But there's a lot of costs that go into this. First cost: I wanted to play with a full band. Thankfully my dad's my drummer, but I hired three other musicians for the three-minute song. For a cost of $450. Then you have to rehearse with the band and pay for a rehearsal space. $410 rehearsal studio cause you know, New York City apartments. $210 rehearsal studio. Then was outfit. I want to be more consistent with styling and I'm told a great stylist cost anywhere from $300 to $3,000 for a look. Kathryn was amazing and absolutely killed it. Morning makeup of. I got my makeup done and I did my hair myself because some of the quotes I was getting for hair were crazy. This was my team morning of. My boyfriend and mom, God bless them. And then I $300- music manager fee. So I paid the logistics fee. The biggest cost yet though. Yeah, it's the equipment. The Equipment Bill. Let me remind you, a three-minute song, a three-minute interview, 30 seconds on air. What do you think this equipment bill was? $1,176. $1,176. But you know what? I have zero complaints because I would do everything again. I had so much fun. Morning. When you include the transport of the Ubers there and back for my team. My total cost for six minutes on air was $2,385. $2,385. And you know what I would do it again and again. It was worth every dollar. Follow for part two. I'm gonna tell you how much I made from this experience. Bye.
