How to complete the Your Favorite Artist challenge in BitLife

2 months ago 117

BitLife’s Your Favorite Artist challenge is all about becoming a viral singing sensation who maintains their success after switching record labels. While some parts are easy, others get a little tricky, especially if you’ve never pursued a musical career in the game.

BitLife Your Favorite Artist challenge guide

BitLife’s Your Favorite Artist has five tasks to complete:

  • Be born a female in Missouri
  • Go viral on social media
  • Come out as bisexual
  • Have 3+ LGBTQ friends
  • Earn a gold single after switching labels

Although the first few tasks don’t explicitly ask to become a musical star, you’ll still need the musician special career pack to join a record label and earn a gold single. Although social media allows you to become famous, it doesn’t unlock this extra feature, making the purchase a requirement.

Be born a female in Missouri

Completing the first task of the Your Favorite Artist challenge requires creating a female character born in Kansas City, Missouri. To do this, pick the United States as your starting country and Kansas City as your place. Although Jefferson City is the state’s capital, it isn’t available as an option, making Kansas City a reliable alternative.

Although it isn’t required for the challenge, having a musical special talent will make the last task of this challenge easier. Once you create your musically gifted character, choose any instrument and master it before age 18. We’ll talk about why later on.

Once your character turns 13, they’ll unlock most social media sites, allowing you to start this task. To become viral on social media, pick any option and create posts or videos, depending on the platform, until one goes viral. This process is entirely random, and there’s no way to raise your odds of it happening. However, I’ve found YouTube videos to be the most reliable method in previous challenges.

Come out as bisexual

Age 13 is a special age in BitLife, as it also allows you to declare your sexuality. You can access this through the identity category under Activities. Upon picking sexuality, you’ll find a blurb of where your character is leaning, followed by three options: straight, gay, and bisexual. It’s entirely up to you if you want to create a character who naturally leans towards bisexuality, but for the purpose of this challenge, it technically isn’t a requirement.

Have 3+ LGBTQ friends

From high school onward, you’ll start meeting people whose sexualities are known to you through their profiles. Starting with your school classmates, go through each person’s profiles until you see those who’re LGBT before befriending them. If you don’t see enough during high school, enrol into university or get employed full-time and repeat the process until you befriend at least three people.

Earn a gold single after switching labels

The last task of BitLife’s Your Favorite Artist challenge is to earn a gold single after switching record labels. Doing this requires a three-step process:

  • Join a record label after mastering an instrument
  • Become successful enough to join another easily
  • Earn a gold single

The first part of finishing this final objective is initially signing up for a record label. You can do this by either joining a band or pursuing a solo artist path. If you go for a band, watch which record label they’re part of. As long as you master an instrument or singing, you shouldn’t have too much trouble joining. However, you may have to give it a few years if your first few auditions don’t go well.

The next steps vary slightly depending on whether you’re a solo artist or a band member. If you joined a band, leave it after becoming famous before auditioning for another record label. If you were already by yourself, wait for the contract to end and choose not to renew it. Either way, when auditioning to join another label, you can, again, choose a band or the solo route, depending on your preference.

After joining your second record label, continue releasing singles each year until one reaches gold to complete the final task of the Your Favorite Artist challenge. Sometimes, it can take a few tries, but since it’s luck-based, you’ll just have to keep trying until one succeeds.
