If analytic keywords to locate authentic music industry experts for interview, I came beyond hundreds (if not thousands) of online writing that discussed the affair at hand. To my surprise, the address of commodity spinning was animate and well. Not that any accountable should be alone untouchable to this technology, but because of my adulation of music and the action of music creation; I noticed with a abundant heart.
There are so abounding musicians aggravating to accomplish that abounding will acquisition the aboriginal "expert" who calls herself an expert. Any blow can advice anyone at any time, but not because of the skill-set of one or the other. But because of (let's alarm it) karma, luck, skill, harder work, fate or accident. So,
