Dallas Martin<\/strong>\u00a0advises those who are struggling to \u201cbuild out a plan.\u201d A common theme with many successful artists is their ability to create and execute meaningful short-term habits, which ultimately helps with their long term goals.<\/p>\r\nJames says he stays on track by focusing on a goal, and \u201cKnowing the light at the end of the tunnel.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
Adds independent recording artist King Elle Noir: \u201cIf you are used to going to a studio and having an engineer record you, maybe it\u2019s time to watch a couple YouTube videos and learn how to track your own vocals, start making your own beats, etcetera. Anything you choose to do will only add to your career and build you as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
Alamo Records vp digital\u00a0Drew de Leon<\/strong>\u00a0suggests that artists stay creative by creating a 30-day personal challenge that could be unrelated to music, whether that means reading one book per week or learning a new skill, like a language. \u201cEspecially in a time when there\u2019s no direction and where we can easily feel lost, we need to create a destination for ourselves,\u201d he says. \u201cGiving artists deadlines and goals is super important, so they\u2019re constantly focused.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
