🚨 SERIOUS QUESTION FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY 👀

How long should an artist stay on the local open mic and showcase circuit before leveling up? 🎤

Fans…
Do y’all even go to local showcases anymore?
Do you respect artists still doing the same open mics for 10–15 years?

Artists…
Be honest:
👉 Has opening up actually grown your fanbase?
👉 Have your followers increased?
👉 Are you making REAL money?
👉 Are people coming to see YOU?
👉 Or are you still paying to perform years later?

Because at some point…
you gotta ask yourself if you’re building a real fanbase or just stuck in a cycle 🔄

There’s nothing wrong with showcases…
but eventually the goal should be:
💰 Monetization
📈 Growth
🎟 Selling your OWN events
🔥 Building YOUR audience

Not just constantly paying to perform in front of the same people.

Music industry people, artists, fans, managers…
