You think everybody's paying attention to what you're doing. No, they're paying attention to what's interesting to them.

People say they want shorter, but really want something that rivets them. They've got endless time for great.

It's a privilege to play music fora living. Even more, it's a privilege to have an audience. Respect that.

Opportunities are abundant, but most people are afraid to do the work

Keep making music.. Keep improving your music.. If there's no viral action on your music, you're just not good enough. Don't get mad at the audience, get mad at yourself. Either give up or get better.
