June 23, 2017 For people, being a star means that you are in the spotlights, that others notice you, that you are famous. We admire you, you inspire us. All the admiration does something to you and your ego. Your ego is blown up big way! Like a balloon. That’s how people with an imposter syndrome experience it. They still feel the same as they were before they became famous. They are anxious all the time, anxious that others might call them a fraud, that others deflate the balloon. The other side of the medal is, when you think that you have a right to all privileges that you get because of your fame. Often you don’t even know the name of the people surrounding you.

Advice, Live Music tagged Concert, alcohol, rock music, safety June 13, 2017 Last weekend, I was speaking to a music manager who was bemoaning his band’s lack of new music. “We have no new story” he said. The band in question have 19 tracks on Spotify and a host of video content. If got me thinking, what can we learn from Disney?

If nobody’s heard your music before, the artwork may be the difference between skipping over it or checking it out - especially in the digital age where there’s so much music available for free. Here are some tips I drafted up for creating and choosing the correct album art.
