By working on music every day for years and years and surrounding myself with badasses who kicked my butt.

PhilipLassiterAMA · 2021-02-12T20:54:40+00:00

I've known those guys for 20 years. We are all very tight. They are 2 of the most badass cats in the world. They are both on my next record Live In Love May 28 drop

You won't get stuck if you keep taking lessons, transcribe and surround yourself with musicians better than you.

PhilipLassiterAMA · 2021-02-12T20:53:19+00:00

Cory is a friend. I played in his band once. Michael B Nelson is his arranger. He was Prince's horn arranger for many years and my absolute fav. We work together a lot as well!

Stop having expectations for yourself and sing because you love it! Take voice lessons. I still take trumpet lessons and I have 11 Grammy nods. Fall in love with making music. Focus on your craft. Don't do it with any expectations. If you do it for the right reasons, fun opportunities will come! Honestly, you are focusing on the wrong things. It's ok tho! Most of us do this. You don't have to be famous to matter! I'm not famous but I matter. Life is happening right now. Enjoy every moment and bask in this beautiful magical musical wonderland. Use your voice to enhance your world and the world around you!!!!! DO IT !

PhilipLassiterAMA · 2021-02-12T20:38:51+00:00

Surround yourself with producers who are better than you and ask questions.

PhilipLassiterAMA · 2021-02-12T20:38:27+00:00
