If you’re a struggling musician who’ve been overlooked & ignored way too much like myself, don’t be bothered by it too much. You do your very best by making music, playing a lot of gigs, and yet you get nothing out of it. No local press, no respect from other bands, etc. You get the deal. What that means, it doesn’t mean that you suck. I’m sure you probably have some talent and your music maybe good. You may have talent in some way.

I’ve always believed that people just don’t want to admit that you are talented. They just want to be like you. Jealousy is a small part of it, for sure.

And just because other bands & musicians are big & successful in their area, have lots of fans and playing gigs all over, that still doesn’t make them any better. Their music can be crap as well.

I’ve always believed that overlooked & underrated musicians who don’t get much recognition are more talented. When I used to gig in the past, that’s why I always looked for musicians who weren’t that successful to share gigs with. I wanted to give them a chance to get them out there playing and give them a chance to be heard. I was willing to share the stage with bands and artists whether they were successful or not.

The not so successful musicians can make good music.
