The money is in headlining.
In order to headline you’re going to have to start headlining.
And to start headlining you need a show that’s good enough (and long enough) that people want to pay money to watch it.
***Headlining is different than simply playing ninety minutes of music.

The first thing someone hears when they click the play button. So very important, so make it good.
The new Hum Love playlist is up on Spotify and Apple Music.
I like all of these intros…and songs for that matter.

When you’re a new artist you wear every hat imaginable.
You’re the artist, manager, agent, label, publicist, road manager, graphic designer, video maker, video editor, songwriter, a&r, marketer, radio team, street team, social media manager, photo stylist, van driver, producer…
All of them.
It’s easy to think all of those things make up your full time job. But the thing is, each of them IS a full time job.
For each of those hats you wear, the is a full time job in the industry for that work. Pay attention to which hats you like to wear and don’t be afraid if that hat you want to keep isn’t the artist one.

Football Lessons
If you don’t make a touchdown on this play, you can try again next play.
If the coach is yelling at you it’s probably too late.
The perfect pass is only a perfect pass when lots of little adjustments get made in order to get the perfect result.
Next man up is an advantageous mind set until you’re the one injured.
And while next man up is an understandable team strategy, isn’t it the goal to have players/people who are so good that they aren’t replaceable. Shouldn’t the goal be that next man up doesn’t work? That you have to say ‘Stop. We aren’t the same without them. We need to retool for a bit’.

The world doesn’t need you to do it.
The irony is…if you decide to do it, you can give the world something it needs.

If you don’t have time to talk, don’t answer.
So then…
If you pick up, don’t act like you don’t have time.
Both answering and not answering can be the friendly thing to do.
