MUSIC INDUSTRY PRO TIP - If you look at people's Instagram highlights, you'd think working in the music industry is all fun and games and basically one big party 😂 The part conveniently left out is how stressful, last minute, and unglamorous it can actually be. -Dealing with lots of personalities. -Last-minute changes to releases that have ripple effects. -Putting out fire drills constantly. -A tougher and more oversaturated landscape to break artists in. -Late nights and early mornings. -Politics and social dynamics. What's funny about the music industry is that it very quickly weeds out people who are just in it to look cool. The cool and fun moments are about 10% of the time. The other 90% is doing the actual work, with most of that work being unglamorous and sometimes even borderline unfun. Most of the people I know really making plays and doing big things don't even post about half of what they do on social media. Success favors those who focus on putting the work in.
