Which, let’s be real, is completely disingenuous. I’ve seen first hand the challenges and cutthroat nature of the business. There’s a reason why the saying “real musicians have day jobs” exists. It’s really, really hard to be a financially successful musician without also being a shrewd businessperson. Talent and creativity will only get you so far. I wish more successful musicians would just be honest about this aspect rather than try to paper over it.
