Keeping a sense of humor......from sonicbids

<p>Success in the music industry hinges on building constructive and positive relationships.&nbsp; And to do that, you gotta be cool.&nbsp; And there&#39;s nothing cooler than someone who can make fun of him or herself.&nbsp; In fact, if being made fun of was a sign of being cool, Sonicbids Artist Relations Manager, Benjy Kantor, would be the coolest guy in the world!!!&nbsp; </p><p>Having a sense of humor doesn&#39;t mean you have to be cracking people up all the time.&nbsp; It simply means that you&#39;re able to look at life&#39;s little foibles with grace and aplomb, and sometimes that means not being afraid to be embarrassed.&nbsp; Heck, you&#39;re a musician -- you know what it means to put yourself up on stage for everyone else to stare at!</p><p>There&#39;s no reason you shouldn&#39;t take that same fearless attitude with putting yourself in front of promoters and other artists, and at the same time realize you can&#39;t be everything to everybody, and some people might just laugh.&nbsp; And when they do, laugh right with &#39;em, because if nothing else it will let them know you&#39;re on-the-level, down-to-earth, and that you know there are funny things about the world we live in.&nbsp; More likely than not, you&#39;ll gain a fan, and it&#39;s a great start to building those relationships that are going to help you meet your music (or career) goals.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
