Everyone is interesting enough to be famous.
If modern television has taught us anything it’s that.
But interesting is different than captivating.
And fame is different than longevity.
We are captivated by the artists (people) who understand what their unique gifts are AND ALSO use that understanding to crank up those knobs…especially on stage.
Captivation breeds longevity…and maybe fame too.
We have phrases like “perked my interest for a second” or “yeah, it was pretty interesting”. Like William Hung’s music video or Carly Rae Jepsen.
So it turns out we can be interested in things we are also passive and dismissive about.
We are not passive about things that captivate us.
Keep digging. Uncover what it is you offer and lean into it…hard. Don’t run away from it or under value it.
Everyone is interesting enough to be famous.
But are you captivating enough to have a career in the music business.
