You probably do, but in case you don't already know: the old model for artists success is over!
As recently as 10 years ago, labels “discovered” and “signed” artists at the developmental stage if you were talented, were deemed a "star" and a good investment, a record label would invest in you, develop you, promote you, record you, market you, and help the world become aware of you, with the underlying expectation that you would be a good financial investment for them.
In this brave new world of music, the “get signed and get discovered” method has been replaced by the do-it-yourself method.
I am lucky enough to have industry professionals believe in me who are doing the necessary development work with me.
Even still, it is a hard and arduous journey that I have undertaken and will not give up.
And as wise Dumbledore says in Harry Potter:
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
You must commit to something.
Yes, it will be scary. Yes, some people won't understand.
But once you do, something amazing will happen: the universe will move to help you.
I believe it!
