Having said that, this is a ‘business’ and should be managed as such. Over the past three years, I made valuable connections in the industry and have been fortunate to have those connections provide invaluable guidance and support. One of the most important pieces of advice I received was ‘If you’re not making money, it’s only a hobby’.
After having spent the first two years investing heavily in the creation and marketing of my music, I took this advice to heart and made a vow to find ways to make this a profitable venture; hence validating the fact that this was a career and not just a hobby.
