Do you know what you want that to be? Ever thought about it? What do you want to leave behind on this earth when your time has come? It is up to the people to decide but you can encourage them in the right direction. When you're an up and coming artist, it's a great to already know what your legacy looks like. You should be able to picture yourself 10..20..30 years later. If you haven't done this, stop reading, close your eyes, and do it now!
OK, hopefully you've opened your eyes again. Once you have a mental picture, you can start basing all of your actions on that one goal you're trying to reach. Every song you make, every show you perform, and every promotion you do should focus on the legacy you want to have. Some markerters would call that "branding," but it's so much more than that.
You are telling your audience that you believe in love, for example, or you believe in speaking real life. You're also telling the audience what you're not.. you're not a confused aspiring artist not knowing anything about his or her self. Believe me, the public can see lack of confidence or self-identity. Stay true to who you are, realizing that people will listen to you and your music. Give them years of this and your legacy is in fruition. So the next time you get in the studio to write a song...ask yourself, "will this be an example of my legacy?" Happy Recording.
