Knowing how to market yourself and your press materials is key.

Everyone faces challenges from the fierce competition as well as the manipulative crooks that are rampant throughout the music business.

Being in the music business requires having a very strong resolve. You must be completely committed to the craziness that will inevitably ensue when pursing a career in music. There is no one who is immune to this. Not even the biggest music icons.

People get bored of hearing the same genre of music over and over again. Observe the current musical landscape and predict what "mood" people will be in next. Ask yourself what would be the most natural transition or reaction to the current genre. Then create it!

Being a songwriter requires versatility while being an artist requires you to create a cohesive body of work. I truly enjoy both.

I have certainly faced my fair share and will likely come across more. These experiences have been fuel for my music. Facing these challenges has forced me to recognize my own inner strength.

Home is a place from which you can draw strength.
