"A girl with a macbook air and a lot of feelings." WOW. OKAY, just say my name next time when you're talking about me.

Thank you for a very interesting and illuminating episode! I totally agree with what you are saying regarding the term "shadow artists".

If I hadn't been "in the shadow" of managing other artists (musicians), helping visual artists to be seen and more, I'd never have all the material which I'm dipping into now in my writing.

Are you not on Notes? I couldn't find you there. All the best from Stockholm!

EXACTLY! Love that being generous with your creative support was a source of inspiration for you. And yes, I'm on Notes! @chelseypippinmizzi :)

Found you! Yes, generosity feeds generosity. And I was also the recipient of a lot of generosity just being around such extraordinary artists. That in itself was a huge inspiration, how could it not be. :-)

I prefer this essay to 90% of "pep talks" I've received, including the ones I tried to give myself! Thanks for the insightful take on a sensitive topic.

Resonate with this. Pop culture has portrayed musicians in a way that make me feel deficient as an older guy learning music. It feels like one has to fit certain molds to be called a legit musician.
