We find ourselves, constantly changing our path or decisions just to please people around us. We are afraid of not being accepted and liked otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Music makes no ecception to this. Every musician is afraid that their work would not get enough attention, if it&#8217;s not commercial enough or if it&#8217;s made the &#8220;wrong&#8221; way.<\/p>\n<p>That leads too many artists unfortunately, to loose their own style and uniqueness. Thus loosing the chance to stand out.<br \/>\nEach of us is different, very often it&#8217;s just this attitude to please everyone that make us act, think and live almost identical lives.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the right balance is the key for me.
