Episode 79 - Music Industry Expectations with Matteson Gregory

Being an independent artist comes with expectations. It’s easy to get caught up in what others think we should be doing, and comparing ourselves to other artists isn’t healthy. At the end of the day, we have to do what’s best for us and our individual careers. I’m excited to welcome Matteson Gregory back onto the show for an honest conversation about music industry expectations. The quote for this episode is by Franchesca Ramsey: “Social media, unfortunately, just makes it a lot easier to be jealous. It sets up false expectations of reality, so it’s really easy to look at someone else’s life online and assume that they have everything going great for them and that their life is perfect.” Matteson and I have an open and honest conversation about facing expectations in the music industry. We talk about social media, body image, beauty standards, photo shoots, consistent music releases, and more. Matteson also shares the inspiration behind her new single, “I’ll Be Okay.” I loved having Matteson back on the show, and this is truly another fabulous conversation. I hope you feel seen and inspired after listening. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest? Email me at [email protected].
