WHAT ARE THE DRAWBACKS, DIFFICULTIES, AND HARDSHIPS OF A SINGING CAREER?
The conventional wisdom in a nutshell is that the art of singing is unmatchable in its splendor; but the business of singing sucks. I agree with this assessment. Making the art is indescribably wonderful. Getting to a point where you can be paid to make the art, and keep being paid, and being paid to make the art you want to make the way you want to make and where you want to make it — that’s the heartbreaker. The business is rife with drawbacks, difficulties, and hardships.
