I listen to a lot of podcasts and search for ideas that could apply to my industry.
How do you feel working in the music industry differs from other industries?
Many people are here to sustain a party lifestyle.
Is working in the music industry as cut-throat and challenging as many people make it out to be?
I have no idea – it’s always been easy for me and others to get work. It’s all just perspective.
Do you have any advice for those trying to find a career path in the music realm?
Don’t do it. If you have no choice and absolutely must work in music due to a personal calling, immense talent or amazing opportunity then OK – follow the path. Many people try to find jobs so they can work in the “industry” and be cool or support a party lifestyle. Those people add very little and end up unhappy.
