This is a late reply, but thanks for your comment, William.

While I don’t know a ton about Big Sean, I know that he’s managed to maintain the buzz on his name without an official album and that has to be acknowledged. He has to be doing something right. Humility goes a long way, that’s for sure.

Ya-aaaaaaaaaay! I win! misskatiemo touched my blog! I am a happy guy, seriously.

I’m glad you like the series. In my personal life, I find myself always helping artists find purpose to guide their actions. It is quite often never enough to tell them to give at least 3 months to build buzz for a big project release, because they never understand why exactly. For artists to become better equipped at conducting themselves in a fashion where they become highly marketable and easy to work with/for, they need to have goals and they should contemplate wins on a personal level before pondering more tangible successes.

Thanks so much for your comment, Katie! You made my day!

Hey Will, thanks for your comment. I need to keep my eye on Big Sean, because I never see the other side of him. I hear the braggadocio and I wonder if there’s anything more. Track record equals brand most of the time. Humility can help keep that in perspective. When one asks internally, “how do I want to be remembered?,” it can change the whole way you look at creating.

Hey there! I think it's high time for me to comment on your blog, especially since you've left so many fantastic comments on mine!

First off, thanks for both the Radian6 shout-out AND the link to my blog post. I also work with Amber at Radian6 .

I really like the post series. I see tons of blog posts about the tactics (and write them myself!), and am always pleased when Isee perhaps more of the philosophical or esoteric posts being written. It's about the “why” as well as the “how”, which I think gets skipped over sometimes.

Thanks again and have a great long weekend!

Definitely true. Humility goes a long way with making people feel like they can identify with your music. I think Big Sean serves as a great example – he's cocky w/his music, but he's super hungry, humble and accessible because of his humility and thankfulness to his fans.
