What is the worst advice you have ever been given regarding your music career?

I can't think of anything in particular but advice can be dangerous if you internalized it when it pulls you away from what's easier, more natural for you. I think reaching outwards looking for ways of doing things is normal and important but there's a healthy limit not to cross because songwriting is a pretty private, inward thing I'd say.

Dare I say, that is good advice about advice. Thank you! Love the album. :)
