PhredGot1 gripe Artist PhredGot1 believes there is a better and different way that the local music industry should be moving forward with. This, however, can only be changed if, according to him, the existing artists change the way they operate. The artist says he is frustrated by how artists and the general public look at one when you declare your interest in music. This, he says, is discouraging.
PhredGot1 says artists must do their level best to deliver quality work all the time as they represent each other. He says one thing that needs to stop is the dishonesty whereby artists who are not good are made to believe so, while the ones that deserve the praise are not told anything.
“We are gassing up people that are not flammable. This is killing the industry because instead of this person working on themselves they get comfortable and keep delivering poor quality work. I'm not speaking down on others but we have issues to resolve,” he says.
“The God Family Music” singer believes today's artists are on social media too much which prevents them to make the best out of their careers. PhredGot1 says this hinders productivity and it creates egos which will not help one to be successful.
“As much as our target as young artists are on social media we don't need to be on there 24/7. We neglect potential fan bases that are not on the internet. If you are just on social media how will the cab drivers who take the young people to school and work know about you? How will those on the ground get to know and hear of you,” he questioned. He says there is hope for the industry provided there is unity and the will to learn.
