Next-Gen Advice


“Success in the music industry doesn’t come from waiting for approval. You need to put your head down, do the work, and own your accomplishments. You also need to find a way to make your voice heard, even when no one else is listening... yet. Finally, it is of utmost importance to let your strength and determination be your guide. You have to be unapologetically stubborn in your pursuit, but you must always stay grounded; confidence is key, arrogance is not. Oh, and you need to have fun. We are in one of the most exciting and demanding businesses in the world. Being in the music industry is a privilege, and there’s never a dull day. If you’re not having fun, you’re missing the boat."
