If you’re a music artist and want to get yourself out there — you have to learn to be honest with yourself and just be yourself. That’s the trick of getting yourself out there. Yes, when you get yourself out there — you’re gonna come across all kinds of negativity and bullcrap in the music scene. Tempers will flare across other musicians, you will get bullied, be made fun of and harassed — best thing to do if you want to move forward in your music is to not care about any of it – the drama. Don’t get into anybody’s drama and just stay out of things. Just screw everybody, and just do what you love to do. Don’t worry about if people don’t like what you say or who you are. The world is not about pleasing everyone.  I’ve always had this attitude for years and still do. If other musicians and people in your music scene don’t like who you are — fuck ’em. You will meet plenty of people who pretend to like you when they don’t really.

Playing music should be for you and you shouldn’t let people bring you down. It’s no secret that too many musicians out there have short tempers. That’s a big part of why I don’t socialize and network with other musicians too much ’cause they can be a bit too crazy.

I’m never giving up my music — doesn’t matter how much negative criticism I get out of it. I love what I do, and I’ll never stop playing.  Just ignore all the negative stuff and focus on the positive. It’s real funny how musicians concentrate on you and worry about how you are when they should be worrying about themselves and their own music. I have been done with music drama for years now. Don’t really enjoy being dragged into it.
