Bill Lloyd – 8.27.12

Mike Ragogna: Mr. Bill, what advice do you have for new artists?

Bill Lloyd: Do what you believe in, don’t give up. Love it. Don’t do it for the money. Do it for the love and try to be as unique as you can be.

MR: And that’s the advice you would give to the kids.

BL: Yeah. In today’s economy, that’s the only way to…everybody tends to make their own luck. Nobody’s relying on a big corporate mother or father to come carry them and support them for years. It’s very much a time where you make your own luck. The internet is really wonderful in terms of promotion, in terms of selling a small amount of records, so you’re able to survive on that. In terms of the other parts of the music business that we grew up with, the internet has pretty much decimated that, and file-sharing has. But, you know, you move on.
