Commitment and the Long Haul
Dave on what it really takes to establish a career as an artist or songwriter:
"The keyword is committed. It’s going to take a long time. It’s never been harder. It’s never been more saturated. The money is nothing at the beginning... I just think that the cream does rise to the top. If you are truly talented and persistent, and you keep putting out good work into the world, then I genuinely believe you’ll build a good career."
