It’s pretty common to undervalue the aspects of your band that have brought you success and given you even a shroud of unique identity in this saturated market.
Because since you have those strengths you figure everyone else must have them too, and if everyone has them, they can’t be worth much.
Or you figure because this set of strengths hasn’t sky rocketed you to fame that they must be the wrong set of strengths and you need a new set, someone else’s set.
Or you figure that if you truly adopt this set of strengths as a core of your identity as an artist, that it will limit you from participating in opportunities outside of that identity.
Don’t be afraid of what you’re good at.
(and I know how that sounds…but hey, maybe it’ll push you into the light)
Once you understand the strengths of your identity, keep doing them over and over and over. No matter the consequences.
That’s what you need and that’s what we need from you.
