A short YouTube video ("Art is not competitive." by Lennon Bone) arguing that artists should grow by collaborating and supporting each other rather than competing. The speaker recommends sharing other artists' work, building relationships, asking to collaborate, hosting live conversations together, and mutually sharing fan bases to expand reach.
One of the fastest ways to grow your audience as an artist is through collaborating with other artists. You may feel like it's competitive, but there's not one person out here who only likes one artist. We can get so much further if we lean in to sharing each other's audiences and helping each other out. So share artists work that you respect. Build relationships with them. Ask them if they want to collaborate. Ask them if they want to go live and talk about things that you like to talk about. Be friends with them and share each other's fan base.
