Success in Music During the Digital Age How can a musician achieve success during the Digital Age? Can we all be the next Lady Gaga or Bieber?

Popular music, for all its insanity in personality, really has done little in the way of musicality. That is not to say that there are not any talented musicians in pop music, because there are many, but that American popular musi...
