The communication between musicians and their fans has changed due to the power of social networks. The power of social networks in the music industries help the musicians to communicate with their fans. Communication in the music industries has improved due to the power of using social networks because musicians and their fans are now communicating with one another. Musicians are now reaching their fans in more effective way than ever before; some musicians are using social networks to build relationships with their fans. Social Networks also help the musicians  to be able to recognise their fans and followers.
                                                    
The emergence of social networks brought changes in the lives of many people, particularly the musicians because they can now launch their latest albums via social networks.   Musicians are now able to share their albums on the social networks in order to inform their fans regarding their latest albums. Sharing your album with your fans on the social networks is another way of marketing yourself because your fans will be informed and be able to view and listen to your tracks before they can buy your album. read more
 
There are many more social networking sites and tools that can help you to succeed in the music industry such as the following
  •   FACEBOOK                             
  •  TWITTER                 
  • MY SPACE     
  • YOU TUBE and many more

Social networks that I have mentioned above are the most well regarded social network tools that are helpful in the music industries used by musicians in order to communicate with their fans. What made me realize that social networks are important in the music industries is that you can keep your followers and fans updated and can also help musicians to be able to recognize and measure the number of their fans. My question is that, are social networks really important to be used by musician?

    I agree with Bornwise, social media has created a new better way of communicating the message instantly, a person can watch a live concert on tv, musicians sometimes use video callings to communicate with one another.

    m glad that our local artists have seen the importance of social media, not only by socializing but also to take it as business communication tool and to get publicity.

    Firstly social media make the world small as Marshall McLuhan suggest between time and space through global village, in term of music artist do market their albums free and you able to chats with the artist to confirm where is her/his album.

    social media is the new way most musicians should consider when communicating with their fans,because most social networks allows one on one coversations, which makes things easier for both the fans and the artist.
