When I started pursuing a career in music, one chorus of advice recurred. Don’t do it. Turn around while you still can. Avoid this industry at all costs. The landscape at the time inspired grave warnings. I dipped a toe in fast-receding waters around 2009/2010. Job security and corporate strength hit all time lows. Would-be advisors gave me guidance born as much from prudent observation as self-preservation.
Incredible writing and a rare capture of the nuances of the music industry... great stuff, Jon! And that mid journey art is eerily relatable haha!
Thank you for your ministry, Jon
