Thesis on artist career timelinesfrom @katoproducer

30 is the new 20, y'all. We're starting to see way more artists and musicians now achieving success later on in life versus earlier in their careers. And we're also starting to see these legacy artists that have been around for twenty plus years already that are hitting the biggest moments in their careers well into their forties. For example, Victoria Monet. She won best new artist at the Grammys at age 34. Teddy Swims had his massive breakout song, Losing Control, in his early thirties. And Leon Thomas spent years and years writing and producing for other artists before he had his own breakout solo career. And look at Shakira. She is a legacy artist. She's in her late forties no, and she just launched the biggest tour of her career that grossed almost $500,000,000. Usher had his massive Vegas residency performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, and then did his own solo world tour that made close to $200,000,000. I just think the days of feeling like if you don't become a success by the age 25, then you're a massive failure. Those days are gone because of how social media is and because the way people are discovering music nowadays. Even me, I used to tell myself, like, if I didn't make it by 30, then I was a complete failure and I would quit music. And now tier I am at 39, about to turn tier, and I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of the potential that I can reach in my career. I really think that your tier is for figuring out who you are as a person, figuring out your identity as an artist and a musician, and then your thirties, forties, and fifties, you just go out there and execute and kill it and then realize your full potential as a person, as an artist, as a human being. And the biggest mistake that you can make as an artist or a musician is putting a timeline on your success because your biggest moments and milestones in your career probably haven't even happened yet.
