A lot of people say that artist development is gone. A thing of the past.
It’s not.
It used to be development was something the label did for you, or did to you. It was their responsibility.
Now it’s the artists responsibility to develop a knack for growth and also learn to surround themselves with people who help them grow.
Artist development is alive and well for those who desire it. If you’re having trouble finding how to get it started, pay someone you trust $50 and tell them to give you an honest opinion of your landscape. Start there. Build from there.
You can release music whenever you want to. From your bedroom.
You can talk to you fans whenever you want to. From your bedroom.
You can make a video whenever you want to. For next to nothing.
It used to be that artists complained because they needed the labels to make the above things happen in order for them to develop.
Now artists can.
Now the gym is open 24/7. And you’ve got a membership.
