Legends speak on remaining humble in the entertainment industry… “I concur,” seems to be the confirmation statement of most all exceedingly successful entertainers internationally. It has been continually revealed, during Exxpose Magazine & Exxpose Magazine TV exclusive interviews with phenomenal moguls such as Eric Nolan Grant of the legendary O’Jays, Eban Brown of the Stylistics, International Recording Artist Gina Brown, and social conversations with other humble legends like Smokey Robinson, Dougie Fresh, Special Ed, Todd Bridges, Cordell Moore, Kermit Ruffins, Sheryl Underwood and Mos Def that remaining humble in the entertainment industry is just as important to your success as your talent is. Often times, thriving entertainers take on the persona that they are already stars and tend to portray diva type characteristics. In many cases, ill behavior and lack of humility lands a failed career before it even begins. Moreover, in an instance where celebs are at the height of their career and inevitably experience hardship—they stand a better chance of gaining employment, roles and gigs again as a result of their humble ability and humility. Nevertheless, it is because of humble legends that we as journalists can captivate journeys and documentaries of surreal life stories. Is loyalty in the Music Industry an illusion? Hey….loyalty in this industry is a rare thing. I mean, you will definitely find some people who are true to themselves and true to you as well. But, finding people you can trust—now that’s another story. You see, it’s like this…build your own team (it takes a whole), but do it. You’ll pick up some people along the way who you look around in 5 years and they’ll still be standing beside you. And then there are others, who will come and go in the blink of an eye. Never be surprised though. It doesn't matter how well you do, you will always gain haters. It’s just the nature of the beast. Just keep you circle small and your haters close. Most of all, keep God first and you’re sure to be alright! Success in yours—but only of you want it bad enough! Creating the essence of Music in its fullness, while extending lyrical illumination.
