Have you been working on your songwriting craft? Good. Have you been working on your audio and video recording skills? Good. Have you been practicing on your chosen instrument(s)? Good. Have you been practicing on making your singing or rapping skills better? Good. Have you been out there working on making your promoting and advertising skills better? Good. Have you been working on making your live performance even better? Good. Have you been continuing to learn about how the entertainment industry truly works? Good. Good. Good.

The point I’m trying to make here is, if you continue to work hard on the things you love to do as an artist, it will definitely show to those who listen, and in real time too. Your family will always love you. Your friends will always love you. And also importantly, your audiences and fans will always love you too, no matter which genre of music you make, and no matter of whether you’re male or female. Just keep on going forward, keep doing the best work that you can muster. In doing so, you’ll keep the bullshit out of the way of the journey you’re on. Cause that’s what this endeavor is, a journey. You’ll stop breathing before you truly run out of ideas and inspiration, and those you’ve inspired will continue the journey.

Have any of the artists who have posted music at Fuzz won a Grammy? Yes. Do they stop there, and rest on their laurels? No. Why? Because what we all do as artists touches our hearts in the deepest of places. In turn, the deepest places in people’s hearts are touched as well by what we do.

So don’t be discouraged about not winning this year. Or any year. Keep on doing what you do. And keep loving what you do. Okay? Good.
