You may have heard super corporate people say this, but the truth is- it is also applicable as a music artist. Unprofessional behavior or appearance impacts your bran, and essentially your opportunities.

Now I’m not saying so rush and get a suit and tie. However, I am saying know your audience and stay focused as to your brand objectives. How does your appearance and how you operate impact these goals?

Many musicians are dismissed because they do not conduct themselves professionally. This involves things like dressing professionally, having properly prepared meetings, rehearsals, and performances, returning to important phone calls and emails, and everything else that a true professional will never overlook.

Polishing or cleaning the instrument and/or amplifiers is often included. Always maintain a professional appearance and demeanor. And if you are unsure what it means (for example, confused about the choice of dress for a particular appointment), The solution to that is to ask.
