Making it

 Alot of musicians/Artists have this dream of going mainstream, or getting signed or backed by a label, I myself dream of it. But if you do music because you love it, the passion out ways wanting to "Make it".. I mean..who determines whats making it now a days? Who are you allowing to craft your talent, or are you going off of someone elses standard. I struggled with this for years!.. and some time still do, I have to tell myself, no its not about what others think! but in the end..arent we who make music/art doing it for others to wittness..Isnt that the point? or else its just wasted!.. I guess that's the irony of it all though.. just sharing my thoughts..

Artistry

 I find in artistry one should never limit ones self, regardless of lack of, or major demand.
To be a true artist you must first be you, in order for that to happen you must be able to identify yourself. For instance, most people choose to identify by comparison, never try and identify yourself through someone else. Once you identify yourself you've done the easy part! lol.. Create from the heart, and in the end people will value you, in your truth than in trying to simply please them. -Knaladeus
