Artists often find it difficult to strike a healthy work/life balance because of the constant “on-the-go” nature of the music industry. Many artists have said that they are unable to take time off of their craft without snuggling to constantly think about what’s next. BezKnowsTalent is an artists that has been gaining a lot of attention that used to deal with these same issues. Now he’s been able to find a strong balance between his work and personal life.
BezKnowsTalent thinks that his behavior is a good thing. Although it can lead to burnout, “it shows how passionate people are about their craft. But being able to control that passion and energy is where you avoid burnout.” The reason a lot of artists feel this way is because they are constantly comparing themselves to other artists that are further than they are in their careers.
BezKnowsTalent says that taking time off is not only productive, but it will actually let you experience things in real time, which will make your music so much better. You are able to connect with your audience on a deeper level because the music won’t seem forced. Bez has been able to go from humble beginnings to being on the iTunes top 50 and charting on DRT.
It’s not always about hustle, all the big players know this. Not being able to stop working when you know your creative side is burnout is like pressing on the gas and the break at the same time.
