1. Famous Singers are known to be different. In attitude, social view and other human attributes, every honoured artist is very different. You are to be self assertive in your opinion and consider everyone's advice but your opinion matters alot. Isolate yourself from the crowd. Always know what to do that will make you stand out from the crowd of musician all over the town.
2. Stick to your tradition in music. Culture is very important in terms of music. Being an english singer doesn't mean that you have to learn a foreign genre in order to become famous. Your culture is you and anything other than your tradition might bring lower quality of your talent to the public. Lets talk for example, the African/American singer Akon Thiam has said on his interview that, he rose up listening to Reggae and all sorts of afro beats. This musician is lucky to find out his real talent according to his tradition, which brought him to become as famous as he is today.
The best song that first helped him become well known around the world was beaten from senegal tradition, which concluded him to collaborate with so many hiphop rappers. What we are saying here is the vitality of you sticking to your tradition (your tongue), sing in english but consider what would eventually bring the best out of you.
3. Famous musicians are hardworkers.
You can never sense a sign of laziness among this famous artists. Give your time to music. Spend all day, if you can, listening or practicing whatever seems to build up your career. Join groups and do not be tired of participating on the hardest vocal stance. The more you work for it, the more knowledgable you become about your career. Laziness and procrastination will only kill your dreams, so to say, nothing good comes easy.
4. Voice training is very important. Join a local choir or groupies that focus on vocal movement. This type of groups are usually Acapella singers in which they don't usually seek the aid of instrumentals to reserve the sanity of their songs. Build your voice and if you did not consider knowing what key you were gifted with, joining those groups will help you alot to become a famous singer.
5. Lyrics matters alot in music. To be a writer you must be a reader. If you cannot write a clear inspirational song, you are just very halfway to go in every good music industry. Majority of music audience are focusing on what the singer is saying, the message that consists between the beats and so forth. You must learn to write from your heart. Do not imitate or quote someone's lyrics, it is deadly. Sing from your heart, according to your emotional stat. Read life books and many novels alike to get inspired. You can start learning how to write an assertive lyrics by just rambling worths on a paper, or on the screen. Just be true to your emotions, you will never lack words whenever you write about what your mind tells you deep from your heart.
6. Music Pattern -- secular or religious. Which one do you choose? What is your state of mind? Does it make you feel discomfortable? This are the questions you suppose to ask yourself before going into a music pattern. If you can present many things and go further to improve in many aspects of the genre, you can go for it. Personally, I choose gospel music due to the balance I perceive both emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Singing is a kind of business that does not suppose to be. When starting a music career do not concentrate on the business side of it, instead concentrate on developing yourself to be the guru of this age. This is how to become a famous musician regardless of your social position or country.
