X can still be a voice in the industry, and this path holds more value because it is not received, it is earned one fan at a time.
Playing coffee shops connecting with people,
playing small venues connecting
Small festivals up and out always connecting.
The other path is a switch that is controlled by someone else and holds value only to them as long as they desire.
Rejection is a gift to X from God that can lead to true connection and purposes.
The path is hard and crooked but we all know where the broad straight path leads….
God bless.
