As with all art, passion and extremism can help make your music successful – it's simply finding your niche. Know your strengths, keep practicing, and don't be afraid of trial and error! Finally, just do it! Don't wait – create content, get it out there, and build your community. We won't all immediately be great, but taking the leap and creating is the only way to pursue making music.

Great advice! I got WAY better at guitar and audience engagement once I took the plunge and started getting on stage. I mostly do comedy music, but developing a stage character has done WONDERS for my recognizably and popularity in the local cabaret scene. There’s always room to improve, and putting yourself out there means you’re getting the feedback you need to do so.
