We all wish we were in a band…to be in a gang with magical and musical connection.
We all wish we were a solo artist…autonomy to steer the ship.
Bands are the worst…you can never completely have it your way.
Being a solo artist is the worst…it’s lonely.
A band says…no one is bigger than the group.
A solo act says…I am willing to lay my name on the line.
There’s a wide range of give and take, pros and cons. It all centers around buy-in, connection, leadership, vision, chemistry…and luck.
