DISCOVER YOUR REAL POTENTIAL
As a musician, what is your definition of success?
I think you need to succeed as a human being first. Any form of art is just one of your potential expression. Music is not separated from your entity, it is simply radiating from you. Success is being happy and loving what you do.
