Why do musicians need a website –if you’re selling merch, you can redirect your fans to your  website. You can also control what your fans see, when they see it. This means:

No distraction – Unlike with social media sites, on your website there are  ads and links to distract your fans. 

You own the experience- Social networks can be bought out if it happens to be my space.

Social media backup – Social media can be shut down at any time if anyone mistakenly violates their terms and conditions, hence why you need your own site where your fans can go in case anything happens to your social media platform.

Ultimately, having a website  shows that you’re taking your music career seriously. That (probably) means you’re more dependable, more talented, and of more interest to whoever is visiting your site. see your site, a store where your music business assets are for the fans and  you get to control it.
