It’s more likely you’ll have a successful artist career if you are playing music people want to hear.
If you’re making music that you love, but no one wants to hear it, you have a hobby, not a career…even if you’re spending the majority of your time making this music, hobby.
It’s also more likely you’ll have a successful artist career if you are someone who others hope gets on stage.
If no one is looking forward to you getting on stage, taking the spotlight…hobby. Even if you get on stage a hundred times and play a hundred shows…if no one really wants you up there…hobby.
So then, the opposite bears mentioning…
If you play music that people want to hear, and people hope you get on stage…career artist.
