[header] How to become a music journalist [title] Start writing music reviews. [step] The first thing you should do once you've decided to begin a career in music journalism is begin building experience doing the thing you want to do: writing about music. Draft up reviews of your favorite albums and record your thoughts on live shows.
Keep these reviews as interesting and personal as possible and include about foursquare (where you record a variety of album events) as well as other social media sites. Also, if you enjoy music, talk to other musicians and people who play it. Watch your own shows on social media, looking online to reach out to people in your field about your desires. [substeps] For example, if you have a really, kinky mix of singles and concert live music, get a great recording of your band, and send it out in fan mail. Consider first writing a review of popular bands. Many musicians compete with many others to get different bands on their platforms. Develop an eye for detail and take your own work seriously, even if you're only doing it on an amateur level. [substeps] Think of your early reviews as training.
