We have to show support for artists who are trying to own things for themselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have to support our local artists. It's just that simple. Otherwise, we will have no art.
I do support artists standing by their beliefs and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics.
There's a bunch of people who sit around and make excuses for themselves and get upset with artists, but you already know what this is - it's an ego-driven business.
Artists need support, time and money to develop their ideas, and if people rip stuff off, you don't have to be that brilliant to figure out that you're ultimately going to affect the end product.
We, the artists, make the stuff they sell and they're like ticks on our backs, sucking the life out of us.
Our responsibility as artists is to challenge ourselves.
Dear disgruntled artists: the key to success isn't kicking down the door; it's building your own.
In the future, we'd like to support upcoming artists, people that are trying to be actors.
Artists shouldn't deal with business stuff; that's not what we're trained in, and most of us aren't good at it.
There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.
