It still amazes me that so many unsigned bands out there obsess with wanting “fame” and try to become very popular in their local area. Why obsess with it too much? Are you that desperate for recognition? Keep dreaming.

Yes, I am a musician, songwriter and guitar player, but I don’t obsess with any of it. I’m just a simple guy that wants to play music.

I’m not naming names but there are plenty of bands and solo songwriters out there, that try to chase “popularity” and “superstardom” in their areas.

There are bands and musicians out there that call themselves, “music artists”, “profesional musicians” and “established bands”. There are even plenty of bands that call themselves, a “top act with high energy”. LOL! Quit living in your own delusional worlds.

I don’t call myself any of those things. Just a normal guy that just want to play guitar and write songs.

I’m not that desperate for recognition or popularity. I just play for the love and passion for it. People around here are crazy when it comes to music. A lot of them like to make themselves look popular online when the reality is, their music goes no where.

Many of these bands claim they are not doing it for fame, but I know that is a flat out lie when they seem to be obsessed with popularity. Getting signed is what a lot of bands want around here.

I think a lot of bands are better off staying unsigned ’cause the way the music industry has total control of your music and your image, you’ll realize that fame is a huge mistake.
