Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for up-and-coming artists?

Brian Culbertson: What I tell people is a lot of people think they need to make a whole record in order to get a record deal, and my opinion is you don’t really need a full record. You need three really well done, great songs–written well, produced well, and mixed well. A lot of people kind of forget to spend the time and the money to make it sound as good as it can possibly get because today, you’re competing against everyone. So, you really have to spend as much time, money, and energy as you can. You really have to throw your entire self into it if you want it badly. Also, get out there and use those social media outlets. Make sure you have YouTube videos of yourself performing live, go do club dates, and get a band together. There are so many things you can do. Go get a million hits on YouTube, good luck.
