 So many of you are deathly afraid of A&Rs and managed changing works, but I gotta tell you, I deal with A&R every day and have for two decades and 90% of them you'll be lucky if you get an opinion on the shade of pink of an album cover. Never mind a comment on yourself. The fact is so many of you think about an evil monster ruling over your career when it hasn't even happened yet. When these A&Rs are a straw man at best who barely comment on things and just let you do what you want to do while they focus on other things like partying. So what I'm trying to say here is two things though. Is it maybe better to get in the water before you judge if it's filled with a shark or not? And two, no one's gonna save you if you're not doing your own artist development. A lot of these people no longer know how to develop artists, so you gotta be learning how to do that yourself.
