I'm just here as a listener and every now and then offer artists advice on commercial matters. I do this pro bono. Mostly because it's entirely possible my advice is full of shit and not worth your hard earned money. Many artists have become dear friends and they know I've been dissapointed  enough as a manager to never enter that space again except as a helpful friend to mature artists....the troubled genius who has no choice but to be a narcissistic child is a pop culture myth and not worth my time.  I'll offer the input but you have to do the leg work.  A music career and artist journey is primarily about continuous output of great material that have atleast kernels of truth; knowing whether you want an indie or big label path and not pissing off those who try to help you....your music is as important as the commitment you give it...but above all else, be exceptional human beings outside of music.  You'll find that your writing will stand out as beautiful as it is magnificent.
