Music collaboration is a crucial skill all musicians should consider. Collaborating with other creatives will also benefit the artist in numerous ways beyond making a great piece of music. It can help develop musical knowledge, expand fan base, boost exposure, open opportunities, and advance your career in the music industry. Director of Hala Radio, Larry Mhlanga said he has always advised artists to work with other artists because this way one gets to explore different genres and different skills that they might have as music artists. “Music collaboration presents opportunities to learn and create. No one person within the industry knows everything about music. Everyone, including you, has something unique to offer. So, when you work with others, you’re learning and teaching simultaneously,” Mhlanga said. He said working with other artists doesn’t just mean the artist benefit from their musical expertise. Collaborating with other artists also exposes you to their fanbase.

exposure

Tapping into the audience of another artist is a great way to reach new fans and expand their exposure. And if the other artist is well-established in the music scene, then the potential reach is even higher. Collaborating with another artist can also connect one with their industry contacts. Having an extensive network of professionals within the music industry is vital to the artists’ success. On the other hand, upcoming rap artist M- King said collaborations have helped him move up in the industry. “Let’s face it. It’s not easy to become known and popular as an artist even if you are great with your skills. In times when we are competing to get noticed by people who have limited attention spans and are receiving information from a dozen of sources already, it can become a draining process to make them understand your art, to make them connect with it and appreciate it.
