The music industry can be a challenging environment to navigate. As someone who has worked with artists for over 23 years, I can attest that it is always a rollercoaster ride. Fortunately, I have been lucky to have the support of some fantastic friends who have mentored, advised and provided me with valuable guidance. I recommend finding these kinds of friends in the industry and building collaborative relationships with them. Remember to honor and respect the friendship and the advice they provide, as it can help you grow both personally and professionally. It’s important to remember that you’re never too old to learn something new.
