What’s the vision?
If you’re the artist, the vision needs to be entertaining, interesting and focused.
So many artists are trying to be so many things, to tell so many parts of their story, so afraid at the thought of being pigeon holed…and don’t realize that every successful artist they look up to can be pigeon holed….a very very lucrative pigeon hole that brings a lot of joy and happiness and money for everyone involved.
You need to know what you’re going for.
***If you’re asking someone else what you’re going for, you’re wasting your time. You need to figure it out and then invite people in to help you carry it out.
And “we’re a cross between Bruce Springsteen and Abba” isn’t focused.
You need to be able to walk into a room whether it’s a writing room, studio, conference room, hotel lobby, green room, gas station, Arby’s…and have your strong vision within your presence.
What is your vision?
You need to answer this question. You need to be in the eyes-wide-open process of answering this question for your artist career.
p.s. What is your vision and what is the one thing you need to complete next as a means to realize that vision?
p.p.s. And this isn’t fruit loop talk either. I meet with a lot of artists and the ones who have a clear vision, I don’t even need to see their live show to know exactly what it’s going to be. I’m almost always right. And that’s not a pat on my back, but a pat on theirs. Their clear, focused, interesting, entertaining vision makes everyone look like geniuses.
