In this latest post on MusicThinkTank, Ayla Smith details how artists can create a broader context for their music online.
“Make sure what you’re creating is still true to your own values, experiences, and identity as an artist.

People can sense fakeness, and on the internet nobody is letting you get away with anything! “
