Honestly, people underestimate how tough the music industry is. It’s not just about talent, you need strong mental balance too. The pressure, comparison, and online issues can mess with your head. I’ve seen artists who just wanted to disappear for a while. Sometimes you need to choose peace over productivity. Music does not go anywhere, it remains but your mind can be messsed up if you push too hard.

This is why any artist deserves to have the right team around them. The right team can go the extra mile for you while showing you what is required during a difficult phase. They won't abandon you during that difficult time.

It doesn't matter how good and talented someone is as an artist, promotion is the biggest thing that's going to determine how successful the artist is going to be. This promotion is very expensive, if an artist decided to sign with a record label, they will have him slave for years before let him go.
