I was thinking how incredibly difficult it is for different personalities to co-exist in the industry. A lot of musicians are extremely introverted by nature some are not at all. And those that aren’t find it a bit easier to do the public stuff for sure. Those that are introverted like me often struggle hard with this. 

One of the things that I hear from people a lot is that it’s not the music, the creation of the music or getting that done etc. It’s dealing with the people, the personalities. So I wanted to talk to those of you who are more introverted and perhaps have trouble asserting yourself sometimes and give you some guidelines or as I call them “rules of engagement for the music business”. These have helped me over time immensely. 

1. Always Ask For What You Need

2. If have to be pushy - BE KIND!

3. Have Humble Confidence
