Don’t Be In The Music Industry For Money – M.anifest

M.anifest has stated that if you want to make money; music is the wrong profession to go into. He stated this while on the Citi Breakfast Show. He said, “I always tell people that you don’t come into something like music wanting to make money, so if you do, just forget it. It goes beyond that and the fact of the reality is that a lot of people do not succeed,” he added.
However, M.anifest says he does not regret going into music saying it has brought about new opportunities to him.
He further added, “When you take the road less traveled you become an artiste and you do all these things that require a certain level of risk and unpredictability, you have to really have a strong sense of conviction that this is your calling and for me I have that. And also the fact that the longer I do this the more I can assume different roles not just be simply a musician but be many other different things, sometimes playing other rolls using the music as a vehicle. I’ve had the opportunity to write articles for the Guardian. I think every musician here is forced to be an entrepreneur”.
These remarks are interesting as it shows the struggles most musicians face and the opportunities that can present themselves when you persevere.
