Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm east indian and my child loves to sing and would like to become a performer one. But i'm worried, she will see the real view of the westerns and see there are less chances for an east indian to become a pop star here. Should we just stop pursuing it?

    Music business is a funny thing, its very complex and there are so many dimensions to it.. you just need to be aware and market yourself (or your daughter) appropriately.

    If your child knows about it, or is aware of types of music cultures, She maybe able to fit in where most don't.. Think Indie music, Punk.. compare that to R&B and Hiphop..

    So a lot of this depends on your child's taste in music.
    East-Indian Popstar in western culture? very hard. In Canada, the east-indian population is very high, or is getting higher, and though she might be able to get a FEW fans from here and there.. This solely depends on how good she is with her music.. but growing up here, do you think her fans would appreciate meaningless pop?

    If she's serious, expose your daughter to all types of music.. if her heart is ON pop music, then let her pursue it, but she Must be able to sing.. a lot of people are delusional when it comes to it.. (IMO, i highly recommend her to never try those TV specials like "American Idol".. After you taste your 15 minutes of fame, that is all you will ever get)

    I've seen really beautiful east-indian girls who sing for indie bands.. but the way they "MARKET" themselves is important.. (how they look and act..)

    Those girls really know how to give you that "ethnic" feel.. if that means anything..

    They know how to look good. They know how to manipulate the crowd and music, and make the experience unforgettable. her ethnicity becomes insignificant, and same with the masses'.

    Music industry is shallow.
