Galen Hawthorne: Do you have any advice for new artists?

Scott Barkan: I don’t know how qualified I am to give career advice, but the best thing I can say is focus on being awesome at whatever you’re doing and getting in front of people to do it often. I see so many young artists focusing on social media and marketing and missing the fundamentals of just being great at what you’re doing first and foremost. If you can deliver the goods in a live setting, get people to stop eating and talking and turn their heads to check out what you’re doing, the rest will come.
