Seventh Key’s Billy Greer – HuffPost 3.5.14

Mike Ragogna: Right, and for having so much expertise this is a fair question to ask you: What advice do you have for new artists?

Billy Greer: All I can say is “Don’t give up on your dreams.” Have in your mind that you’re going to make it and if you don’t, be satisfied with how far you get in life. “Making It” is kind of your point of view. If you can make a living making music, then I consider that “Making it.” It doesn’t necessarily have to be on a huge stage playing to twenty thousand people, but if it’s your passion, it’s your passion. Keep up with it. Put yourself in the right situation. If you have to move to a larger city or a mecca where you might be discovered, then that might be the thing to do. That’s what happened to me, I was born and raised in East Tennessee. It was a small town, so there wasn’t much of a musical scene there at all, so I moved to Atlanta and that’s where I got discovered and met people and put myself in the position to meet Steve Walsh and finally on the pathway into Kansas. So be in the right place at the right time, practice your instrument, and have fun while you do it.
