Is Clubhouse The Right Platform For New Artists?
Clubhouse provides many opportunities for artists to take advantage of their platform. But is this where new artists should spend their time?
“It is important for new artists to know where their audience is and nurture a community there. Big artists have teams of people to manage their presence on every single platform. If you’re just starting out, trying to be everywhere at the same time is a huge precursor for burnout,” says Casey Taylor.
