Advice no one asked for but I wish was given to me years ago.
Fuck everyone else and go for what you want.
Don’t wait for anyone to tell you you are doing something right, put in the work, put yourself out there and find your tribe that really sincerely appreciates what you do.
Know your worth and as soon as you have it figured out? Stick to it and don’t compromise for anyone unless it’s truly beneficial for both sides.
Don’t have a journey like mine where you do so much for free but end up left in the cold the moment you want to be compensated and DO NOT let anyone project this journey onto you like it’s the right way when it isn’t, it’s bollox. Go to where you are truly appreciated and looked after.
Surround yourself with good people that understand your mission and will truly support you and make sure you support them too. It’s a 2 way street and teamwork, REAL teamwork makes the dream work and actions will ALWAYS speak louder than words.
Don’t be like me. An older frustrated by other olders because they were too selfish and resentful to truly help the youngers unless it benefits them more and makes them look good, holding people back because of “ the bigger picture “ whatever the fuck that means.
You don’t need a “ gatekeeper “ to tell you or show you the right path, the fans and supporters will do that for you and give you all the motivation you need to carry on.
If it wasn’t for my supporters I really would have completely given up in 2022, looking back on nearly 20 years feeling like I haven’t achieved anything close to my real goals because people in better positions than me who don’t know the half of my journey but think they know what’s best for me when they were not the ones who got me here, I did.
Stay away from people who have the knowledge but won’t share it because they are scared you will overtake them. They are just there to use you. Because once you have the knowledge for yourself? Watch their behaviour change around you, watch the entitlement appear and how much they claim parts of your progress. Stay away from these people.
And lastly, build that true belief and faith in yourself, your work, your skill, your passion and try your hardest to keep your heart clean.
It’s rough I know, in this world full of corruption, jealousy and greed but trust me it’s worth it. I haven’t fucked anyone over, used anyone for my own gain or held anyone back in this game even that has been done to me.
WE ARE NOT THE SAME AND I REFUSE TO JOIN YOU JUST BECAUSE I DIDNT BEAT YOU.
My heart and conscious is clean and clear.
I might forgive but I will NEVER forget. I hate having trust issues, I hate having to second guess people as well as myself but that’s my journey, it really doesn’t have to be yours.
I’m truly proud of anyone who has made a way for themselves without falling into any of the bullshit. Young or old, You lot are the real MVPs, keep smashing it and lighting the path for others to do the same so we can All Grow Together.
My time soon done but I’m still pushing because I Love this music shit with my whole heart, I’m proud of myself for not giving up and for being able to build true support that has stuck with me through thick and thin, you mean to world to me although I find it hard to show it sometimes.
Forward Ever Backward Never.
