Relationship Building As An Artist

Jacqueline highlights the absolute necessity of forging relationships with the decision-makers in the industry. According to her, the real deal lies in collaborations with managers, labels, and tour managers, rather than going solo.

According to Jacqueline, infusing your life experiences into your work resonates on a deep level. She urges fellow creatives to boldly inject personal elements into their art, even if it seems unrelated to others. To her, art isn't just self-expression; it's therapeutic and a bridge to connect with others.

As we wrap this up, Jacqueline's insights capture the essence of creativity and passion in the music industry. It's a testament to persistence, the value of relationships, and the influence of authenticity.
