Artistic vs. Commercial

Writing as a profession can be a confusing pursuit. Often it feels like being too creative or unique cripples your chances to get a song cut. And to keep writing as a daily job, we need to get songs cut.


Sometimes it feels mutually exclusive:

Art <-----<---------------------I--------------------->-----> Commerce


But in reality, I'm learning that it's more like this:

 

Not every song that makes money should be assumed as art, nor should every artistic song be financially profitable.

Keep writing,
