Songwriters, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs all have relationships with their muse in one way or another… Inspiration for musicians is an elemental component of what we do. In using inspiration and motivation to spring us into action we can get ourselves to follow through and actually complete all of our projects.

As a singer songwriter producer and an entrepreneur, i’ve learned that both inspiration and disciplined follow through are at the heart of what its all about.

Its getting things done – that get results. Getting results = knowledge and experience = better results.

Getting things done is about staying motivated, or even better, inspired.

Inspiration and motivation will help result in whats ultimately most important… Follow through.

The best new artist is not easily quantified. “Best new artist” is a generic phrase for a category at the grammy awards… While this phrase is almost synonymous with the the award, who’s really to say who the best new artist is.

However, in this day and age I propose the best new artist is something  fundamentally different than the award presented at the Grammys.

The when it all comes down to it, our society has evolved into one that is instantly and globally connected. Music, and the new music business, has changed forever. This is not a discussion directly related to the status of the music industry… Rather, it is a snapshot into the future for music makers, songwriters, and musicians.
