- in Advice for New Artists , Dwight Twilley by Mike
Dwight Twilley – HuffPost 4.23.12
Mike Ragogna: All right, what advice do you have for new artists?
Dwight Twilley: (laughs) I don’t know. I feel really bad for new artists these days. I feel so fortunate that I was able to get started at a time when the music business was more artistic and creative and less of the big corporate monster it is today. And so I guess I would just say if you want to do music, it’s generally that you really don’t have a choice. So if you have to do it, then you better just really love what you’re doing and understand the importance of what it means to you, and let it slide off your shoulder, what the reality of the business is today. It’s gloomy, huh? For the people that want to make it last longer than five minutes, it’s a little harder.
