Work. Always work. Uploading your music to youtube and sending an email once in a while won’t magically get you to where you want to go. No one will “discover” you. You need to keep pushing and be the best musician you can be. Arnold Nesis
NEVER try to force creativity but ALWAYS hammer home your work to companies and individuals, persistence will always pay off no matter how hard you try. Once you have a lead, keep at it and the rest will follow. Secondly, never compromise your morals or your ethics for anything. Always keep them firmly at your forefront and if any project tries to make you put them aside for money, leave. There will always be another project.
