The music game is not an easy one, many seem to give up so soon especially after two failed attempts. My advice to the new and young Artist with a passion for music is that consistency is one of the key factors that will always work well for them. This will advertise them to the public eliminating the money you might need to spend on media. Always make sure to create good content and spend time studying the game before entering the game.
