First of all, I think that is true, if you are a musician, particularly on the come, that you do have to end up in one of these musical centers, some way, to be viable, saleable and so on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The nature of the music business is such that it's better to have a few chances for some things to be successful than just one, and that's kind of been my attitude all along.
Every musical movement that is big enough has to produce some good musicians who wouldn't have had the incentive to start playing without it.
At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.
The more people who come from musical backgrounds and go into promotion, production, songwriting, A&R, plus get their business head together, the better. They'll not only understand the business aspect, they'll also have a true passion and ear for how quality is represented musically.
Lots of people, from what I can see, just want to get into the music business for the glamour of it. But there isn't any, really. It's so up and down this industry, but if you really love it, nothing can stop you.
As a musician, you just want to be able to do what you love.
Preparing for a future in music is an expensive proposition.
There are so many people from many different classes and ways of life who converge in one space to make a musical.
That's a beautiful thing. The more successful you are, the more people are going to come and be a part of music.
Sometimes being a musician has little to do with viability and everything to do with survivability. Many musicians start out great, and they wind up out of the business in 10 years.
