The thing about being a young new artist is that you have to do everything. All the jobs are yours. You’re the manager, label, PR, agent, social media director…
If you stop doing any of those things in order to keep your focus on the songs and music, no one will step in and do those other things that need to be done.
But it’s a catch 22…
Because the only way to get someone to step in and do those things is to get really good at the music and the songs. The music and songs are what attract the rest of the team.
So do you have to find some kind of balance? Sure.
But remember…no one else can write the songs like you do.
Someone else can book the shows better than you.
Someone else can release an album with a better strategy than you.
If you get really good at the thing that only you can offer, people will come around to offer the thing that only they can offer.
Keep focusing on making the songs great.
