So for those who have not been spotted or the record label do not think they are good or will become a star they have to look to other ways in order to get known and generate and audience for there type of music. One of the main ways in our modern society is, the internet. One artist who has used the internet to generate a fan base is Lily Allen. She started off in her teens years doing music quitting school to improve her performing and  compositional skills. She made an Myspace page which is also an social networking site and put up some of her songs, the viewing of her songs rose to tens of thousands thus making her very well known and getting a record contract. These social networking sites can be very helpful to and upcoming artist as it gets you and your music out there in the public for people to listen to and the good songs you make the more fans and audience you can generate. Social networking is very good because people all over the world are connected through them and you can become world wide star and not just a national star because people all over are connecting and sharing good music and musicians, you can become very popular if everyone is talking about your music and eventually a record label will come knocking.
