Like always, you should not blame other people or even the music scene itself for failure in music. If you get lack of support or respect of your music, then that’s a sign that you have a lot more work to do.

In my previous post titled, “lack of support from your hometown”, I wasn’t exactly blaming my hometown for not supporting my music. I was just expressing my disappointment about it. How they supported other Greenwich musicians, instead of supporting my own, ’cause of this “support your hometown musicians” thing, know what I mean? I wasn’t really blaming anything at all and I’m not jealous of anything either.

Then, I learned that when you want to become a successful musician in your hometown or a wider audience, I guess you can’t ask for the respect, you have to earn it. How do you earn that respect with your music?

A few things:

– Improve your playing on your instrument
– Improve your songwriting
– Improve your singing
– Practice more, do not rush, and take your time
– Promote yourself more
– Have a professional and good attitude, at all times

If you can do all these things, then you might have a good chance of moving forward to bigger dreams.

You have to reach for your goals yourself, they don’t fall in your lap.
