What kind of musician do you aspire to be?
Honest or Wealthy?
According to Dr S Kennedy of the United States research facility
there is a trade off between being Honest and being Wealthy.
a simple fact is that many people who accumulate vast wealth, has somewhat resorted to "Unclean" or dishonest means of business or lifestyle in order to "fool people" into doing business with them, or buying their products or services.
Similarly, for 2 musicians who are today in their middle age, eg 40s
one is a scion who bought over a music school and became a business owner because his DAD or MOM gave him capital back then,
another who was raised poor and started late and even failed his ABRSM Grade 6 piano practical, and later improvised under a Jazz mentor by the name of Victor S ,
who do you think: is the Honest, or the Wealthy musician ?
I am not saying that being Honesty cannot lead one to Richness, but there is a kind of Honesty that my Uni marketing lecturer said which is called
"Selective Honesty"... which means that some politicians who are somewhat cunning,
PRETENDS TO BE HONEST
at some stage , especially when GE is near.
If a musician who honestly has an Ego, he might have been able to make friends with established names in the record industries by being a very PR person like Sharon Aw...
but being PR could mean a few things:
1) Good at talking
2) Great at talking
3) Talk non-stop and people like
at the end... she has to exit the country and go Paris fly kite.
sorry Sharon, just being funny, no harms intended...
Let's face it: a musician need s EGO to function.
Can that Li Hongyi, son of Lee Hsien Loong do well in music? you ask everyone in Singapore.
Maybe he can sing a simple tune...
if he can sing well, that means Li Hongyi's EGO is SUPER BIG.
and that is exactly what it takes to be an Honest Musician.
and Lee Hongyi's being Honest is from Ego.
but his being wealthy is from his Father and Mother.
There is a difference.
So much for the ranting.
I have an Ego that some A&R don't like, and they have impeded my progress when i first stepped into the industry 20 years ago.
My sincere words to electric guitarists especially who have higher ego than keyboardist,
YOU NEED that ego to BLAST the DRAGON.
