Mike Ragogna: Do you have any advice that you would give a new artist pursuing a career in this business?

Norman Browns: First of all, I would say to all musicians that you really have to work on your craft, try to be the best musician you can be first. Second, I would say you need to assess your passion and love for this art. The business aspect of this life will challenge that, it will. You will start to second-guess your craft, and it can make you think that it’s not as simple as picking up your axe and playing it. So have some patience with the business side of things, but prepare yourself as much as you possibly can.
