As the music industry develops and changes so does the actual music being produced and braocasted. Throughout history music has evolved but lately the amount of talent which has formally grown from it has been dying out. Musician today rely more on technology and their voice than any other factor. Which is perfectly fine as some really do have unique voices and skills. But then you look back at musician from the 80's and earlier who had a vast knowledge of music and what they could do with it. The point I'm trying to make is that less and less famous musician actually play a musical instrument, write their own music or just sing with passion.
Of course there is a small handful of famous musicians who keep this up and actually secede in life but a large majority of modern artists now rely too heavily on their producers and managers. This doesn't mean to say there are no true artists still out performing, there are hundreds. Many of them are undiscovered or underrated musician who can only get small gigs at unheard venues.
It seems today that producers are focusing more on what the musician looks like on the outside and how the public will view them than they do on the actual music being created. Which of course puts pressure on the public to look and act like them. I could see a nice car purchase it then find out it runs terribly but at least it still looks good. That is what the mentality of a producer looks like to me. Of course some people think differently to me which is perfectly acceptable and their free to argue otherwise. But if you are struggling to make it as a musician just remember that if producers don't see the talent play until they hear the talent.
Carry on.
