TwitterAn music artist performs music for the enjoyment of an audience. This can be recorded in a studio or performed live, either as a soloist or in a group of musicians. It may involve working as a salaried member of a group or could be in the form of freelance work for several organisations. Musicians usually work in their chosen niche of music although there can be the opportunity to move between genres. The job requires high levels of skill, drive and dedication as competition is this field is fierce. Most musicians do their job because of a passion for music and a strong desire to perform.

Many of a musician's activities will be similar regardless of the specific field or genre they work in. However, there will be variations between someone who is a full-time member of an orchestra and someone who works freelance in another field such as jazz or rock.
