TALENT VS HARD WORK



Hi there!

It’s been a while I had written any articles. My apologies guys! It’s been a hectic week. But hey! I’m here now, so let’s talk about hard work and talents.
A lot of new artistes are hopelessly hooked to the idea that with a good voice and good production is enough to make them a super star. And after managing to get a little media attention, the next agenda is living the life of a celebrity with all the blings, parties and champagne popping.
But hold on a minute, have you ever wondered why some artistes seem to make a big break, come into the industry with a huge banging single, and after the buzz and they hype and the parties and the shows, everything seems to disappear, including the artiste!  Those kind of artistes I believe, are called “One Hit Wonders”.
The hard truth is, the music industry is a jungle, where only the fittest survive.  As an upcoming artiste there is no alternative to hard work. Yes it’s fantastic to be talented. Your talent will get you in, but your hard work and dedication will keep you there and guarantee you a place.
When you look at the most respected artistes in the industry, they have attained this status because they have worked hard to achieve their various successes.  It may be said that you can get a lot further on a little talent and a lot of hard work rather than the other way around because no matter how good you are, if you don’t rehearse, put in your share of the grunt work on promotion, PR, and sharpening up your act, you will end up a one hit wonder.
So to end my rambling today, one word of advice: DO THE WORK BEFORE YOU LIVE THE LIFE!
