A lot of musicians don’t learn the business. You just have to be well-rounded in both areas. You have to understand publishing. You have to understand how you make money, what’s in demand, what helps you make the most out of your talent.

The music business is very tricky in that you need someone who understands the pressures that come with the business.

Music is business, you must fight for your right, and you've got to use your head.

Music for me is something I prefer to keep away form the whole business part of my life. I feel like everything I do, in a way, has some sort of business around it. So with my music I can have my privacy. If people don’t have to pay for it then I think they can be a little more open to new ideas.

First of all believe in yourself and your talent. Perfect your gift, work hard at it and never stop learning from the best. One must understand the business side of the music industry also it is a job. Get a great manager that believes in your talent and stay focused and remain humble.

I don't know about music, but in backstage or at airports, everyone seems to get along very well. source

All the information you need is available to you to have a successful career in music, if you're paying attention, and not closed off to anything. Remember, Perseverance is King.''

People will say "there's no money in music", that's not true, there's no money in music to people who aren't educated on how to make money.

Be music always. Keep changing the keys, tones, pitch, and volume of each of the songs you create along your life's journey and play on.
