BEST MOMENTS
Without [my mum's] knowledge and love of music, like, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. There'd be no album, there'd be no anything.
Forget about all that rubbish, focus on the music and by all means, promote yourself on socials. But the music's the most important thing.
All you need to do is just make the one tune that connects. Like, you could have 50,000 followers, you can have 20 followers, you could have started making music last week, you could have been making music for 40 years. If you just make that tune, if that tune is good enough, you send it to the label and the label does hear it and it is that good, they will sign it.
Focus wholeheartedly on the music, just enjoying it and doing that before you start really being like, I need to get signed and then free. Don't worry too much about saying I need to be signed because I was unsigned for years, happily just doing my thing
I can't really make happy music because it's, like my outlet, I suppose when I fully get over some stuff. Maybe I'll be like, right, sweet. I can make some really happy stuff.
