The GPA you graduated high school with was a cumulative average of all four years. So every year it became harder and harder to bump that thing up. Senior year, when you’re finally understanding why this score might be important, is the year you have the least effect on it. The further into high school, the more stuck your score is.
This is not the way the music business works.
Because it doesn’t matter how many misses you have, a hit redeems everything.
If you’ve struggled for a long time, failed a lot, been way up and way down, put out mediocre music…you are not stuck. It’s not about cumulative…it’s about: how good is your next thing?
And the next thing doesn’t have to care about what came before it.
ie. It’s as if you’ve been a D student forever and all you need is one A+ to graduate with honors.
