Amani on why so many talented musicians stay stuck:
“The ones that can build a career continue to study, continue to learn. They look at case studies in terms of what works, what doesn’t. They investigate and research new opportunities. They study history, Music history in terms of Artists and who did well over time, who hasn’t done well. So I think it’s just a continuous curiosity and a desire to learn in addition to being a really good creative and a musician. If you have both, then you’re really set up to succeed.”
