  Aug 20, 202644 min

  Independent rock artist Atticus Roness breaks down how to build a lasting music career, why good music isn't enough without a strong "visual voice," how major labels inflate overnight success, what he learned recording alongside Collective Soul’s Will Turpin and Ed Roland and how to stay motivated when the algorithm isn't giving you streams or views.
