The Sleepover

Ep07 The Illusion


Listen Later

"People love to say, ‘Wow, you blew up overnight!’ But the truth? Overnight success is an just years of hard work finally catching up.

A couple of my biggest records? They didn’t happen last week:
🔥 “GOAT” by Eric Bellinger? Written in 2015—now independently platinum.
🔥 “My Time” by BTS? Written in 2019—now they're collectively over a billion streams.

And only now, years later, people are acting like I just showed up.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
📉 Why artists quit too soon—and miss their moment
🕰️ The 5-10 year delay between work and recognition
💰 How the industry pays out on slow timelines (and why you gotta stay in the game)
🎭 BTS’s rise—why their “overnight success” was really a decade in the making

If you’ve ever felt like your hard work isn’t paying off fast enough, this episode is for you. Tap in and learn why patience is the real cheat code.

🔊 Listen now, or wish you had in five years. 🚀🔥
