Basement Music

Chase Coy recorded his songs in his basement at the start of his career. He is known on Youtube as either 'Chase Coy' or 'Dear Juliet'. He has branched out onto all types of networking sites to become more known and get a wider spread of audience fanbase.

Other singer/songwriters that started off in their basement recording onto the internet:

Skye Sweetnam recorded her first album in her friends basement. She now uses recording studios but it worked as a way to get into the business.

Sandi Thom started off recording live gigs online. Creating a fanbase she was signed and has now made it into the business so well that she is going unsigned for her next album.

In my opinion this is the best way to get into the business, by working for it. Xfactor has destroyed the idea of a music star. That's why there has been so many one hit wonders that come out of the show and not many go on to sell many records.
