Imagine if 10 years ago you were approached by a time traveler and he was like "Look, I don't have much time to explain, all I can tell you is that the year 2020 is going to be an absolute shit show. You know Donald Trump, the star of the apprentice? (1/7)

Rely on your vision not your sight.

@StimulatorJones Well said sir.

[Stimulator Jones @StimulatorJones]

Industry recognition can get you gigs & open doors, I get it. Regardless - not having to work a shitty menial job, having fans that buy tickets & merch, paying bills thru your art; that’s an award in itself. Getting to live that life in any capacity is the true award.

[Stimulator Jones @StimulatorJones]

Music is not a sport. There is no point system, there is no rule book. The act of ranking or determining any kind of hierarchy therein is purely subjective & relies on personal discretion & opinion. Whatever resonates with you is best - approval from “experts” is irrelevant.

[Stimulator Jones @StimulatorJones]

The concept of “awards” for art is inherently flawed bc it asserts that there’s an absolute measurable system of value attached to the act of creative expression. A judges panel of industry elite don’t get to validate or invalidate creativity - no person does. All art has value.

[Stimulator Jones @StimulatorJones]

I would add, it’s often a matter of just getting that one right person to hear that one song - you might already have the song in your bag, but the right person hasn’t heard it yet. I wrote and recorded the 1st demo of “Soon Never Comes” in 2011, it got me a deal in ‘15-‘16.
