Artista bom não faz sucesso: o problema não é técnica

Many people ask me why a good artist doesn't become successful. In most cases, when I look closely, it wasn't an artist. It was a great musician, sometimes a great singer, a guy with a lot of technique, and it's not the same thing.
In this video I talk about what separates one from the other, which in my view is:
personality and the ability to make the music resonate with the listener. I talk about the medium, which is a subject that almost no one addresses: you can do very good work within a style that doesn't have playlists, doesn't have radio airplay, and doesn't appear on television here. I love blues, and Brazilian blues doesn't have a medium in Brazil. Artur Menezes is a fantastic guitarist and went to build his career in Los Angeles.
I also talk about the algorithm, which favors what is visually appealing and has filled the internet with clickbait. I talk about image, which has nothing to do with being beautiful or ugly, but rather with stylistic coherence. And I talk about limits, which is a subject that nobody wants to hear about.
Comment below what you think. I read and respond as much as possible.

Ali fica muito claro que o talento e a música não fazem a mágica acontecer sozinhos, o que manda mesmo é o contexto. Naquela época, o R&B e o som da Motown estouraram porque estavam totalmente conectados com movimentos sociais e com uma cena muito maior.
Hoje a lógica é a mesma, só mudou a cena. O que bate no topo das paradas costuma ser o que conversa diretamente com ambiente de balada, ostentação e apelo visual. Sem cagar regra, mas é exatamente assim que a indústria funciona: o hit é sempre o reflexo do seu tempo e do ambiente ao qual ele tá ligado.
Artistas pra ser popular precisam fazer o que povão gosta de ouvi, pagode , sertanejo, arrocha, axé e funk. Rock, blues, jazz, instrumental, romântica só por amor mesmo. É isso.
Além disso, tem a regra geral da vida: aleatoriedade.
Já me falaram: "se eu soubesse 1/3 do que você sabe, eu viajaria o mundo inteiro"
Mas é só sou o que sou por que eu nunca vendi minha alma ao diabo. O diabo está ai para comparar a alma de quem quer vender. Se o sucesso for dinho, então venda sua alma como muitos fizeram.
A indistria do entretenimento está disposta a comprar a alma de quem quer vender, uns vendem e outros não. Certamente isso é o principal fator que diferencia um artista reconhecido do artista ignorado.
Agora quando ele fala em inpactar as pessos, aí eu concordo plenamente, até porque essa é a condição primeira para ser um artista.
