Renowned singer Asake recently opened up about how humility and ego are viewed in the music industry.
He noted that humility is frequently misunderstood as a sign of weakness, whereas showing confidence or ego can make an artist more captivating to fans and audiences.
Asake emphasized that people are more drawn to outcomes than to explanations of the process behind them. He added that demonstrating every step of your work often goes unappreciated, and it’s more effective to let the results speak for themselves.
His words …
“As an artist, if you’re humble, they take you for granted. But if you have ego they feel like you’re not accessible then they like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than showing them. They don’t really appreciate it. Do what you need to do and just go.”
“If you are humble as an artiste, they take you for granted but if you have ego and they feel you’re not accessible, they will like you more…”
