Always watch your ego
I’ve seen some of the most abrasive and hard-core egos working in the music and radio industry. Allow me to tell you those are usually the people that fall the hardest, from fanfare to welfare. In addition, there’s a saying in most industries “don’t burn any bridges.” This much is true. Some of the people who treated me the worst in my entire career in the industry have needed me years later and they never knew it. I’ll let you think about that for a minute. What I’m saying is, it’s best to treat people well, even if you don’t like them because you really don’t ever know where they’ll end up over they will become friends with.
Really nice article, great advice. Being in the over 35 but under 50 range and still pursuing an entertainment career can be tough at times but it’s in my heart to keep going. Thanks Kevin!!
I arrived at this site accidentally while researching for a radio station to send my first single for airplay. I am glad that I found this site and that I took the time to read the whole article. This article is very encouraging. It also reinforced my efforts for career change and to diversify my skills and abilities although I am over 35. It is well intended and well written. My sincere thank you to Kevin Ross for caring and sharing. I am an emerging independent singer/songwriter wanting an airplay for my first single.
My regards,
