What do you consider to be the most important ideas and concepts to impart to aspiring musicians?
Study, listen, watch, and then remember to find yourself in all of that information being thrown at you. We can be good and being good students, but there’s a big leap to working professionally and becoming your own artist. This happens with time, certainly, but I think it’s important – after you’ve heard what everyone else thinks about how you should sing/act/think – that it’s important to have a sense of where your sensibilities stand in that creative process.
