I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every artist has to grow, and has to challenge themselves with a new form of expression.
In fact, most artists want to make things a bit more difficult for themselves as they go along, to challenge themselves.
As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.
So many artists try to be something that they're not.
I think every artist subconsciously wants to evolve themselves. Sometimes they get stuck in ruts because of pop culture, peer pressure, stuff like that. But what excites me most is exploring my own musical insights and expanding upon them.
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
I've learned over the years that you're going to be most successful at the things you're most excited to do. Every artist has a special set of tools. When you really use those tools, and you make yourself feel really good about the product you create, I think you'll find an audience for it. I've been very fortunate in that respect.
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
Artists don't really want to be marginalized. They believe that everybody should be able to appreciate the experience that an artist gives them, an experience that connects us to each other in a deep way.
I think you just have to cross your fingers that there's enough artists out there that keep producing interesting work, and eventually it will form a kind of wave that will force people to pay attention to it.
