Why Talent is KILLING Your Music Career

Take a trip with me and learn why your talent is KILLING your music career.

 

  • Great points! However, I think that most consumers of music would argue that there is too little emphasis on making a quality product today. The real problem is that there are far too many people who THINK they have talent and something to offer, who really do not. Historically speaking, in the Golden Age of music composition and performance, artists focused on their art, first and foremost. We should never forget that one person can never do many things extremely well. It’s important to know if your best skills are writing songs or singing someone else’s songs, for instance. Not many artists can also be successful record company executives, for instance, or agents or radio pluggers.

    • Nicely said and I agree. I think over time we’ll see the pendulum swing back towards people having, and needing to have, great music too but that’ll be a while. Right now it’s the stormy/frenzy era. Thanks for the thought provoking comments.

    I like it, also maybe true that using the life’s feedback can expose you to situations and people that can accelerate your musical growth much more that practicing long hours in your room. I’m a computer programmer, and when i got my first job  I meet people and I have been in situation that made learn new important topics faster that i would have learned on my own isolated enviroment.

    • Thanks for pointing out the positive side of what I was saying too Cyber. I appreciate the comment.
