What i notice alot about todays music climate is that people don't practice their craft anymore. They are too busy with the social media to even have time to work on their music skills... another thing is lack of respect for the people that did it before you... alot of artists have no respect for the game so in turn they don't get respected, and thats when the complaining comes. It's best for people to learn the ins n outs, not to be discouraged in the end, but to apply it to their craft ... but the fact remains is its about the music!! At the end of the day, its about the MUSIC. Make great music and focus on building great songs.
Anybody who thinks they can succeed without putting in the practice time will have a big lesson to learn at some point. That's the truth!
