best way about it is, start off as a supporting act to help build up ya rep, then as somebody mentioned perform at smaller events/venues that will defo be happy having u as a headlining act, but also make sure when you do this your puttin out cd's left right and centre, so they can show their boys e.t.c which then gives u the "word ofmouth" rep, and obv try get ya shit on radio n that, and if u do this puttin in the time and work i guarantee youll eventually get to that spot where you want to be.
