Making a Scene Presents - Why the Music Industry Middle Class Matters More Than Superstars
The Lie We Were All Sold

From the very beginning, most musicians are taught the same story, whether anyone ever says it out loud or not. If you work hard enough, sacrifice enough, and stick it out long enough, someone with power will eventually notice you. A label. A manager. A gatekeeper of some kind. That moment, we’re told, is when your real career finally begins. Until then, you’re expected to struggle quietly and call it “paying your dues.”
