The Struggle Is Real
We have seen the real
struggles of incredible talented artists trying to make it “big.” Unfortunately the music industry for
independent artists is tough. It is a do or die, a flight or fight type of
field. It takes passion, dreams and money…the big catch 22. How can an artist
work full time to pay studio time, producers, beat leases, rentals, publishes,
marketing, and so much more. It seems as quickly as a paycheck is spent, so is
the dream.
Aaron Davvid
is an independent pop artist from New York. He told us the music industry in
his area “has changed so much with the advent of technology. The value
that was placed on music no longer exists.” And because of specific
circumstances, he had given up on his career.
“There was a hard time in my life, things just fell apart spiritually financially socially and i had gotten involved with the wrong people. Just to survive I had to take time to re establish myself financially and catch my bearings.
After a few month of being stable my best friend looked at me and said "You gave up" and immediately I realized I had already overcome the obstacles restraining me from moving forward. Once that happened, I threw myself back into the studio and recorded Bikini.”
We had to inquire about his come back. He bounced back filled with more passion than before. He says, “Thankfully I have been able to meet some good people along the way that want me to succeed and have given me guidance and support to move ahead. Currently I am on a promotional tour doing various interviews and performances to promote my latest single "Bikini" and I am moving forward and surrounding myself with people that get the vision.”
What advice can you give other artists in the same boat as you?
“Keep going. If this is something that you love, than never stop. This is the most cutthroat industry that doesn't even cater to the elite. Do it because you enjoy it cause fame is fleeting.”
