People talk about the lack of an Atlanta music scene pointing to a "lack of community" in Atlanta....This may be true, but It doesn’t have to remain that way…..It’s up to us to create community….People in general wait for leaders to make things happen….Musicians need to understand at a gut level how collaborating on and off stage and supporting each other benefits THEM… People like us(Leaders) can demonstrate that ; ) I believe that individual musicians & music business folks remain isolated, and thus the music scene as a whole stays fragmented, due to an evil trinity of factors:
1) Pride(they sincerely believe they are too good for most others or aren’t into collaborating with other genres)
2) Insecurity(they don’t wont others to outshine them or learn their “trade secrets”), and
3) Indifference(they are apathetic and don’t care that much)
We as music business leaders have the fascinating Opportunity of working together to meld the Atlanta music community into a cohesive whole that benefits all of us. I find being part of something on the rise to be quite a thrill…
