More on Talent
I believe that everyone comes into this world with some natural talent. Everyone has something that they are naturally good at.
Of course, in my life as the PSG (Project Studio Guy), I run across a lot of people with natural ability as songwriters, singers, and performers. In fact, I would dare say that I have never encountered anyone with a burning desire to pursue music that did not have some modicum of talent. Perhaps the talent was not developed, perhaps the skills needed to support the talent had not yet been honed, but the natural ability was there.
One of my talents is the ability to help others hone their talents.
If a musician is willing to set their ego aside, (that little voice that tells them “You’re already great! You don’t need any help!”) and cultivate within them an insatiable desire to learn, then they will become more and more skilled at their craft, whether it be songwriting, singing, performing, or a combination of all of these.
