There’s an incredible amount of luck involved in making it big in the arts. Some of it is talent. Some of it is hard work. But a lot is luck. Almost certainly compared to professions where reasonable competence and work mostly guarantee a decent living.
- Mawr 2y agoI want to believe that but I've never seen any compelling concrete examples. Got any music that's way better than its popularity/recognition would indicate?
- ghaff 2y agoThere are a number of singer/songwriters/folk who I’ve really liked who were pretty obscure like Heather Alexander, Kathy Mar, etc. may not be to your taste but I’ve liked and certainly not well known.

- sp1nningaway 2y agoI gotta say expected the usual type of "good musicians that can't catch a break," talented but can't write a song with any sincerity or personality. Instead I loved all three! I regret my cynicism and I'm glad I took a listen. I went and bought a couple albums on bandcamp. Thanks!
- circlefavshape 2y agoYou're welcome! ... and, ahem, if you value sincerity/personality over talent then you might also like my own band :) https://open.spotify.com/artist/3O9y7KvDkmr9eRZ1i9IQXZ?si=AA8RnYnjQs2pLgT06eylNQ https://open.spotify.com/artist/3O9y7KvDkmr9eRZ1i9IQXZ?si=AA...
- GuinansEyebrows 2y agoit depends entirely on your taste but there are some genres that actively avoid broad recognition which include some of my favorite bands (many metal and punk subgenres for example).
- luqtas 2y agobeyond luck, lots of famous artists have 'non-famous' composers arranging/composing after their demo stuff
