Moby - What advice do you have for young artists?
http://www.bigthink.com/arts-culture/music/426
In this video, Moby talks about what it takes to be a musician. He says that you should be passionate about what you do, and to make music because you have an honest love of music. As easy as that may sound, I think many people struggle in life because they do not do what they really want to do. From the very beginning, we feel the pressure to succeed in life as a doctor or a lawyer or something practical and realistic. Lifestyles in music and the arts are hardly ever recognized or encouraged, because it is such a rare thing to succeed in. Moby says that even if you spend all your life making music but don't succeed, at least you lived your life doing something you love. The more you persist at it, the better you get, and the higher the chances of succeeding. Hard work and dilligence pay off. As a musician and aritst, you should not let yourself fall in to that stereotype of "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll". Musicians are also very educated people. He advises young artists to develop their knowledge on music history, because the more versatile your insight on different styles of music is, the more you can grow as a musician.
I think the concept of BigThink is a revolutionary thing to the Internet. People look at the Internet and websites such as YouTube just as something to have fun and play games, but with BigThink, people are becoming more educated and learning more about issues that concern themselves and the world around them.
