The Best You
Be yourself
Cliché right?
I am a big music fan, I'm also old enough to have been listening before streaming services
You would think that streaming services and social media has been great for music
And I'd agree to a point
But it's also connected everything to the point that inevitably people absorb others sounds, or personalities outside of music
Artists used to have 'cult' followings because of the effort it took to access the music you would only really do that for someone who's sound you really enjoyed
Now it's so easy you'll give more things a chance (which is great)
But it also means something needs to sound different to stand out from the crowd
In a time where everything chases virality and is surface level
A unique sound/personality/perspective is more valuable than ever
It might not be viral
But if you build a cult following they will likely BUY your music/ticket to your show/your exclusive online community
One sale is worth more than 1000 streams and one client is worth more than 10000 views
Cut the noise
Be yourself
Find your people
