What changed perception of age for me was when someone put it like this “if you’re 25, you’ve only been an adult actually for 5 years. You’re a 5 year old adult. You just got here, you have SO many more years to go” and it’s like no you’re so fr-

folks not liking Kehlani & Lucky Daye’s latest albums are examples of people being fans of a specific style & sound opposed to the artist, their creativity, talent & their use of their outlets.

i would honestly like to thank chloe bailey for last year. she showed up every time as her unapologetic self and even through tears, didn’t fold or back down. honestly inspiring because the girls were COMING FOR HER and she stayed 10 toes.

Artists & creatives alike, it’s okay to have a rest period. You’re not a machine. If you keep pushing and pushing especially when nothing is naturally coming to you, you cannot produce what’s most authentic and fruitful. Take a nap once in a while.

at this point, y’all GOTTA release the idea that if you ain’t “make it” in the industry by 25 that you’re done. there’s artist JUST hitting the scene that are nearly 10 years older than that and flourishing.

Please remember, ESPECIALLY in the beginning of your career, it’s not time for the artist to have the liberty to JUST focus on music. I’m sorry. But it’s time to familiarize yourself with Business (which you’ll always be learning) and learning as much as you can to be-

yeah, i know MANAGING isn’t my field. but to be an A&R or on one’s A&R team, that right there is for me. Since folks don’t really know what that field entails, here’s a few things we do for the artist:

Y’all are always focused on Spotify monthly listeners and rather you know it or not you’re usually just focused on it bc it’s publicly displayed and it makes you feel validated as an artist - I get that. But that doesn’t equate to audience retention fr.

21
189
but ALSO, don’t equate a beautiful rollout to overnight success. that’s not what it’s about. the rollout gets EYES ON YOU, even if they don’t like your music they’ll use your rollout as an example for another artist to be inspired by. It helps open the door, not get the seat. IMO

Supporting your favorite artist out loud goes a long way, in so many ways. You may be the one that leads them a deal, or you may be the one that gives them reason to keep going - either way, support.

I have a question, as FANS, do y’all actually pay attention to an artists Rollout, their promo for upcoming music? Like do y’all really notice that stuff or you just wait for the music? If you pay attention, what’s been your favorite rollout by an artist?

ARTISTS, if you’re posting clips of new music on reels or TikTok’s, you also need to be posting them on YouTube Shorts!

I always say man, if you aren’t ready to be managed - don’t seek a manager. If you aren’t ready to really step into your artistry, don’t seek an A&R. Because if you aren’t ACTUALLY ready to do your JOB, then you’re gonna prevent others from doing their job.

I wanna pick y’all brains. Between an A&R, who essentially spearheads your creative development & your Manager — whose responsibility do you believe it is to reach out to journalists & playlist for media coverage, press & placement?

a lot of (underground or emerging) artists don’t have press kits & decks available either bc of not knowing how to, not knowing the importance, or not having someone on their team that knows how to (which… nvm) so i tend to accept/respond to email submissions without them—

Reminder: it’s okay for people to not like your music. It doesn’t make you less of an artist nor does it mean that persons taste is poor, it’s just preference.

And also… two things play a big part in your presenting music.

Trying to explain to my older, somewhat out of touch or religious family members what I mean by “I have to get work done” regarding anything I do in music, but also telling them I’m not getting a biweekly check for it is a different hell.

I think a part of the reason so many of us were subconsciously traumatized by the ‘discipline’ we received as children was bc we weren’t a lot to move past the error until the adult decided they were over it - but we had to be over it by the time They were over it.

as emerging artists, to be quite frank? y’all don’t have the fan base & weight (yet) to just drop a project at random & hope for it to do numbers. you HAVE to do SOME sort of promo friends! even the bigger stars (well some of them) they seem like they randomly dropped &—

It’s so easy for an artist to become a song oppose to a song being in an artists catalog, do you get what I mean? A viral moment is great and if a song takes of due to that viral moment, even better - but you do not want to become the song or just the artist that sings that song-

Music & music artists are so important. People we’ve never met have helped us through some of our hardest trials as if they personally sat in the room with us and heard our thoughts and cries. Somehow they just knew to make a song just for us. Music is so spiritual.

I’m gonna be honest, some of the songs y’all send me has the production, the tempo, the vocals & the overrall vibe! But then I hear the lyrics and they’re… odd… and unrelated & all about a chakra and it doesn’t make sense with the overrall theme.
