Loving the music industry through thick and thin
The Briefly News team had the honour of chatting with Mathousand, a member of the Sdudla noMathousand musical group from Gqeberha, about staying in the industry through its ups and downs.
"The music industry is not a walk in the park, and quite often, if you are not sure of what you want or unsure of your talent, you may want to give up."
He advised artists who may be indecisive about staying or leaving the industry.
"The best thing to do when you have doubts about whether to stay or leave is to take some time for introspection."
"Look at your situation from all angles, and if like me, music is your life, find a way to balance things by getting yourself a part-time job. It could also be in the industry that you love."
