What a brilliant write up Michael! Thank you so much for including me and Annie. Wonderful write ups on Caleb and Sally too, congratulations to them both for their magnificent work.

In my case, I didn’t “make it” in the mainstream sense, but I started selling hundreds of my albums (physical) worldwide at 34, with a dark, twisted, and ambient music project I thought only I would enjoy. But that was only possible because I’m obsessive. The most logical and expected reaction in this landscape is simply to give up. I spent my twenties watching everyone turn into a broadcaster while the receivers vanished. I think the landscape is starting to shift. Partly. One side of the world will be buried in a slop nightmare of bots and algorithms, the other won’t.
