Okay, musican/artist friends, it’s discussion time. I’ve said before that one of the reasons this blog exists is to help muscians toward their success. But it also occurs to me that “success” has a lot of different meanings for people.
So…the question on the table is: what does “success” mean to you?
How do you measure it, or what is the benchmark for it in your mind? Is it when you land the record deal, or when you sell a bajillion records? Is it when you are working steady? Is it when you’re making a living doing what you love?
This video is about five years old, but the insights in it are still fresh. Wise words from industry insider Owen Husney, former manager for Prince, about the situation today with labels and artist development. He confirms some of the things I said in the opening post.
