A Bit of Word for Upcoming artiste.
Associate with like minds, don’t develop a nasty standoffish attitude because your songs are popping across various stations and charts, remember that no one was born on top of the chart and it’s not anyone’s exclusive preserve.Anyone at the Top can be at the bottom of the ladder tomorrow. Once you have these in mind, you realize the need to stay pushing and developing yourself whatever the success level, as though you are prepared for lean times, because in truth there comes a time in every musician’s life when the music stops popping and these knowledge from others as well as relationships built become helpful. 

If you intend becoming a bigwig, you have to dress like a million bucks in order to attract those investors, show promoters and the media to use your pictures from concerts, hang outs and whatnot. Now, this is not to mean you go about living beyond your means and all that but as much as possible try to always leave a good impression with your outfits. You can’t have everything as an upcoming musician but that’s why contacts can always help out if you have the right affiliations. No one is saying you can’t get a little help here and there. Go figure.

Even when it is payment time and you have sent in some form of financial payment or otherwise to the bloggers, DJs, reviewers, OAPs or events hosts who have helped out in one form or another with plugging your music, still thank them. Be loyal, even when it hurts. You will need it. And you know one last truth about this? No one really knows who you are so you can send in monies for services and get swindled when your materials aren’t deployed as agreed and nothing will happen. Nothing. So be thankful when you get helps, free or not.
