There'due south way more to making a career work than just beingness able to stand up onstage or go into the recording studio and brand music, and I've seen those things take careers and artists out time and time once again.

The promoter asked if he gave me his number would I phone call him and talk him down," says Dunn, who made the call. "[There are] things that I had learned the hard way similar yous've got to rest.

Things commencement coming apart if you don't take intendance of yourself and concern."
