Brian Message, ATC Artist Management
“A really good and timely piece of work. I’d love to see us, as an industry, move on from the notion of ‘breaking artists’; it’s not about that anymore, it is about building careers and artist businesses. The more we can accept and support that notion, the more successful career artists we’ll have”.
Jay Gilbert, Label-Logic
“I’ve worked with heritage artists and catalogs an executive at the majors for many years. Keith accurately identifies the similarities in the path to longevity. There is a lot to learn from this piece. I believe that often it truly is simply a series of comebacks”.
Darren Hemmings, Motive Unknown
“Crossing The Rubicon is something of a spin-off from Keith’s Art of Longevity podcast, and asks questions such as "can common artist career paths be found?" I highly recommend it as it provides plenty of food for thought”.
