Talent Versus Hustle

Yesterday I had a session with a producer I've been working with. Before starting the session, we had a discussion about other projects that we've individually been working on. I asked him if he's found any other singers like Loidimo...talented, great personality, humble, driven, consistent, reliable, has a great look, and a fan base. He said no. He and I both agreed that we've met very talented performing artists, but none that have all the qualities previously listed. I then asked him which he'd prefer. Someone with extreme talent and mediocre hustle, or someone with extreme hustle and mediocre talent. We both agreed that we'd take hustle over talent any day.

When I first started my journey as a songwriter, I wanted so badly for anyone to give me a chance to write songs for them that I spent time a lot of time with the wrong people, meaning people who didn't have the same level of action intensity. There were a lot of people who said they wanted to do music, they said they loved music, but they weren't obsessed with it to the point where most of their day was based on moving their music career forward. It was more of a part time thing for them. And there's no judgment in not being obsessed with music. Only that it wasn't a perfect match

well, I hope u can really achieve your goals. if you believe now that you can make it alone. since you have the contacts by now. but still you can say you still need a hand. we can make music that hardly sells. so we really need a bang to break through.

I'm not thoroughly understanding your comment but no one can make it alone. You always need a team. And no one is ever done with evolving.

ok, i just thought it would be ok to say that you're letting us know that you started where others are right now and we have to follow/do the same way so we have to do it alone. hehe. but still we can always find our own flock much better those who think they are already up the pedestal.

because some will just look and say, i feel for you but u have to struggle like I did. instead of lending a hand to those who can make them more powerful and better.

I agree with you. A great book that talks about that is called The Prophet.
