1. The more you learn about today’s music industry and business, you will come to realize how much common sense play’s a major part. Understanding basic human nature and psychology, but being yourself while navigating and working things into your advantage.

2. To gain the respect of people in the upper echelon of the music industry, it is beyond those doors that lead towards success. It’s important to be “Real” and not get caught up in the hype. Believe me, when you have been in this industry for a long time, you really get good at reading people fast, in addtion to others reading you.

3. It’s all about building up your name and credibility to a certain level. Having knowledge about the industry is one thing but applying that same knowledge to your personal experience is where the strength lies. To begin to build a track record of experience is what takes your career to the next level

Let me not overlook the fact that YOUR music, when it’s good, is key once the doors start to open.

For an artiste to gain successful leverage is a real hustle. I’m sure many reading this can attest. The hustle combined with the understanding of the philosophy above, you can eventually make a go of success – given that you don’t give up.
