The goal of a musician should be to build genuine bonds with their super fans and monetize each interaction.

Here’s a step by step thread and how any artist can achieve this regardless of Genre:

Stop taking selfies at the studio and make better music.

Most artists don’t want to work hard they just want to look like they’re working.

[Darrian Smith @404darrian]

Working like I never got the position. God is the greatest.

2022 exposed a lot of people true colors that I put on or did business with so you know it’s fuck all y’all in 2023. Watch this next move😂

[Darrian Smith @404darrian]

I’m hands on with these artists whether I’m attached to their situation or not I want to know what’s real and what’s not.

The best thing you can do as an artist is buy a mic, a UA Apollo and a Mac Book. Load up on the plug ins you need an start making your drafts. If you don’t have a relationship with an mixing engineer hire one on indeed or pay for mixes on SoundBetter.

[Darrian Smith @404darrian]

If you’re an artist making content isn’t an option going into 2023. It’s to the point where if you don’t like making content you have to make content about not wanting to make content.

3. When you’re building your empire there’s also someone building theirs with the same scarce material , be ready to diversify. You have to be flexible and willing to adjust. Can you still play if I took the ball from you ?

I’ve made some great decisions in my career , some decisions I’ve made turned out to not be so great. Either way I never stopped making decisions. Here’s a few lessons I’ve learned in my career that I hope you can use to move forward in yours…

5. Consistency builds legacy. The game is basically let me see how many times you can do that before we call you great. Respectfully you’re as great as your last game.
