This has been on my mind for quite awhile now....and is essentially why you see any artist on the rise or in their prime - have to slow down or are not SCENE as much.
Business + Fame < Fame + Mental Health:
"You want an agent or A+R representative NOT to get more busy....
But to simply stabilize your mental health while you STILL try to be a human and do normal things throughout being noticed or going thru "fame" as they call it. It's the ONLY way we remain accessible to even out closest family and mates in the industry."
"It's all about having someone there to help as a guideline."
For example:
I'm more than sure, if Skibadee (rest in power) 🙌 had this A+R rep by his side or a person in place for him on that fateful weekend we lost him, then they may have told him to slow down and not do 400 miles and 4 events in a weekend....but he was and still is just too big of an artist for anyone to tell him what to do....still....
It WOULD have made a difference and we could have him with us in this very important discussion were having here today, right now.
Help is not for us to get more busy..its supposed to help us regulate our lives around us so that we may survive our industry as we all can see how many of us are bright enough to warrant this kind of treatment post-fame.
I'm more than sure Skibadee didn't want to be more busy, he just needed someone to tell him to take better care to take better...care. ❤️
Having good physical and mental health is the most important fundamental piece of discipline you can ever teach yourself in this industry and countless others. Talent means nothing.
Enough said.
