Don’t silo yourself. Listen to playlists, radio, discover new music Spotify, YouTube, shows and films, and get out to concerts.

Songwriting as a career means getting yourself acquainted with it at an industry level: seeing competitors as peers and colleagues, and appreciating and learning from songs that have done well.
