Most artists spend most of their time waiting to be picked.
Be picked by the best record label, the most connected manager, the high powered booking agent.
They spend all their time waiting to get picked instead of picking…instead of believing.
Artists want to be believed in before they’ve proved it, but don’t want to believe in others UNLESS they’ve proved it first. (aka…artists believe in the ones they want to be picked by, but not in the ones they themselves could pick)
Artists want the very thing that they’re not willing to give to others.
The only way to begin breaking the cycle is to go first and believe in someone who hasn’t proven it yet.
That’s what you’re hoping others will do for you, so go do it first.
