I can understand the reasoning in an artist being
discouraged to continue their art when it doesn’t seem to be recognized in their
own home (city), however the question comes… “What were you really doing it
for?” I personally feel that it’s unfair for you to hold your talent captive
just because some people don’t appreciate it. What about those that do
appreciate it. If a lot of artist decided to throw in the towel because their
music was rarely getting recognized we wouldn’t have such beautiful Genres such
as Blues, Rock, Soul, R&B, Contemporary and etc. (Frankie Beverly and Maze
are GREAT examples) Those genres have stood the test of times because ARTIST
NEVER STOP making those types of classics. To me that separates the dynasties from
the fads. So before you think about
unplugging the cord to the mic, or closing the guitar case, or covering the
piano keys, think about the legacy of music. Think about how far music has
come. Think about the songs our ancestors use to sing (all races). Think about
what it has done for you. Think about how you would feel if your favorite
artist decided to throw in the towel. Some of us have a talent that can’t be
taught or bought. It was a reason it was bestowed upon you. So if you birthed
it…. Let it live.

“You should have married music, Her melody echoes through your
veins, Your souls are compatible you’re one in the same, Her very temple set
your soul to flames. And the love in your hearts is hers “
