Harry Connick, Jr. – HuffPost 8.28.13

Mike Ragogna: I have a traditional question that I ask everybody. What is your advice for new artists?

Harry Connick Jr.: Just practice. It depends on what kind of artist you want to be. If you want to be a pop star, I don’t know, put videos out on YouTube and hope, I guess. If you want to be a musician, practice. Just practice really hard.

MR: Nice. And that’s what you did, isn’t it.

HCJ: Yep, I’ve worked pretty hard, man, really hard, practicing and listening and studying, trying to learn what I could.
