Brilliant! Also, I'd add: 1. Persevere your ass off 2. Beware of dishonest, treacherous people on the biz side of things, & always use a lawyer! 3. Boot toxic, envious types out of your life 4. Leave your ego at the door so you can be objective 5. If you're a decent singer but can't write or produce strong songs, look for people who can. Not even 1% of people can do everything. 6. The higher the level of success you want, the bigger the price you will have to pay 7. Every real deal, successful musician I know is spiritual. Cultivate your spirituality.....it'll be like the wind in your sails and the rudder that guides through treacherous waters. Good luck y'all!

Hi Damian, Just wanted to say thank you. Have been following your content for a while, and focusing on many of these points has changed everything for us. A year ago we had about 3000 followers on social media, now its around 200,000. Your content definitely played a big part in this, as it made us focus more on what we were doing and how to change our approach to certain things. So thank you! - Maxl

I have a branding course in my academy, so I’d start there but in a nutshell: - Start asking questions to yourself about which artists you’d go on tour with and who would feature on your records. - Look at similar artists audiences and try to make similarities with your music. - Start creating content and analyse the data and look at the people engaging, who are they, how old are they, what interests do they have? It’s a process, you won’t know straight away but it’s a good place to start 😊😊
