Hey Anton,

Thanks for stopping by! Indeed, I think it’s better to build your career slowly, on your own. Even if you have occasional huge bumps that appear like an overnight success to the outside world — if you lay your groundwork first you can turn that into a lasting base for your business. What’s hard to sustain is sudden success based purely on luck or on other entities.

Nice blog post. I as someone that aspires to do more with their music its always interesting to hear about other people’s stories.

David Nueve lives south from me in Eugene and Marc Gunn reviewed my cd a while back. I did not know that he did music entirely, neat. I think for folks like us outside the mainstream music industry perseverance, building it up slowly, and having a good plan is key. Having overnight or sudden success probably would not last long.

Our blog site is in the exact same area of interest as yours and my users would certainly absolutely benefit by a lot of the information you provide in this article. Please let me know if this okay with you.

The majority of the artists you hear on the radio and see on TV are not virtuoso musicians, so that’s a little ridiculous for you to say that that is a requirement. Sure, it is extremely helpful to be a talented musician, but let’s be honest; there are very few virtuosos on the Billboard charts right now.

I certainly wish it was a requirement; maybe then we could weed out some of these no-talent clowns that are taking up space.
