 It's actually impossible to make somebody genuinely successful. In 2019, Rolling Stone released an article titled, Our Major Record Company Signing Too Many Artists. In it, they detailed that major labels were signing on average two artists a day or over 700 artists a year. It was worth 4.1 billion dollars being spent on A&R, which is the money that's needed to sign artists, develop those artists and get their music recorded. And out of those 700 plus signed artists a year, how many do we actually see break out and become mega successful? Like maybe 10. So you have like a 1% chance of being successful if you're signed to a major label. And that's why it's so hard for me to buy into the hate that a lot of indie artists put towards major label artists or industry plants as y'all call them. Because when I see someone come out of that system and become crazy successful, I don't think all they're an industry plant, that's not fair. I think, wow, you got lucky, you beat the odds. That must really be something there. But you gotta remember man, you can have all the label help, you can have all the connections in the world, but at the end of the day, the people still have to pick you.
