How can an artist be original?
By 
Bruce Warila
Bruce Warila From Keith Andrew's excellent post on Music Think Tank.
"As much as technology develops and changes the world in which we live, and in many ways changes how we think, feel and interact, there are some things at the core of the human soul or psyche that will never change. And it is those deep immutable elements that will always be reached -and resonate- through art. They will resonate something of a higher truth, hope, and existence. There is something in us that always longs for and reaches for something greater than ourselves and it is art that resonates and stimulates that ‘something’."

When an artist is original in this way and this creativity touches us on this deeper level it does resonate with us as individuals. Yes technology has changed everything and music creatives have more opportunity to get fans involved in the 'experience' than ever before and yes everybody seems to be in a band these days. But not all music is great and not everyone is original.
The 'real' artist that can always be authentic and resonate with listeners however has the ability to reached his audience. It's being stimulated, perhaps by that original artist or songwriter that makes us want to support them and buy their music and this is going to keep happening in the next generation music business . . . .
As mentioned by Keith Andrew it's this authenticity, honesty, quality and craft that keeps us coming back for more and its what will keep us wanting to find and enjoy such talent in the future . . .
Man, that is so true!!
