The Cocky Artist Syndrome (CAS)
So you’re bad like that huh? Got it like that? Awesome! So now that you know it, profusely raving about it, and confident about it, I’m sure your fans, and those in your circle feel the same way, right? Probably not! A closed mouth never gets fed, however, eating in moderation keeps one full also. In other words… know when to just ’shut up!’
The CAS is a disease that’s widely common today especially to those who are still trying to find themselves! And it’s contagious too! So be careful to take your meds. The prescriptive measures to not let the laws of arrogance prove you’re just hyping yourself, ’cause nobody else is.
Yeah that was deep, but the point is it’s okay to recognize the talent within you. It’s yours and whether you’re born with it or acquired it… you deserve honor! However, whether CAS is your marketing strategy to get your name out there (yep I’m speaking to the ‘I haven’t made it yet’ clan) or a sweet promotional move… know that very few support cockiness in an early riser!
Be humble about your craft. Find creative measures to exploit your talent that connects your audience which in turn creates a dedicated fan base, and a reason for them to want more. A&R’s love to feel the genuine connection between you and your fans. In today’s music world, SHOW, and IT will TELL.
Also remember being humble is also a special gift… you’re either born with it or you soon and hopefully acquire it!
