They could have a lot going on and are preoccupied with responsibilities that come from building up their artistry. If you feel like someone that you’ve known for a while who is gaining some new success is changing or isn’t as present in your life - try and be patient and look at the bigger picture. However, that may not always be the case so try not to jump to conclusions. It can be true that once an artist gets a little taste of clout they can turn into a d***head. Show real support and it will always come back around. Their first priority should be their show and not accommodating you.
The artist probably has 100+ people hitting their phone to get in for free, which shouldn’t be what they’re focusing on.
Buy a ticket and show love! Pulling up to a show knowing you could have gotten in for free, but still bought a ticket anyways, shows real support. Don’t be that person who only hits them up when they have a show or event that you want to attend for the F. Especially if you’re not one of his or her Day Ones. The last thing you should be asking an artist, producer or entrepreneur is for ANYTHING for free, just because. Keep in mind that up-and-coming artists put a lot of time and money into their craft. At the end of the day, it’s the small things that go a long way so if your only supporting when it’s convenient for you - people are definitely going to notice. If you think about it, the average person is on their phone for about three hours a day, so you literally have no excuses to not show love to your fellow artists. It only takes one second and shows that you’re paying attention. You just have to follow these guidelines and wait for your time to shine because artists do notice these types of real supporters.Īn easy follow, like, comment or re-post shows a lot of support to an artist.
#LITTLE HOMIES CREATIVES HOW TO#
I’ve created a mini guide on how to properly support your fellow artists/creatives in ways that won’t turn people off and will help you build genuine relationships. You must understand that artists put a ton of time, energy and resources into perfecting their crafts, so if you want to truly support - make sure you show an understanding for that part of the game. Now, if for some reason, you are this type of person, I’m here to help you out. Don’t you hate a “let-me-slide-in-for-the-F,” or a “let-me-get-a-verse-for-free,” type of person? These freeloading, transactional types annoy the hell out of creatives because they only hit them up whenever they want something, but don’t show love and support for the movement the artist is building.
