What age are you now?

I heard an anecdote that Kid Rock used to sing country songs in a heavy rock and roll voice at karaoke. That might help you if you want to be a singer.

Make a lot of friends in high places. That's about all it takes.

Don't get a job, get education grants, live on hand outs , bum off the government. Be careful of having sex with people or romantic relationships. Find your scene and subvert it.

Don't take drugs.

the people I know who do it call it their "lucky smoke"

the way they decide which of the cigarettes is "lucky" is by shaking the packet till one pokes out more than the rest

it's weirdly similar to an old chinese fortune telling tool where you shake a cylindrical box full of sticks with numbers written on them till one pokes out more than the rest, and then read the associated number's fortune from a book

Don't be too good at what you do either, learn to overcome deficits in skill with personal styling

This, or pull a Billy Corgan and play it all out yourself

Its all about who you know and how likable you are, you could spend your whole life mastering song writing and recording but not get anywhere due to being friends with the right ppl

Rock 'n roll has always literally just been a marketing scheme created by bland industry fags.

true, all real counterculture stars weren't your typical rock'n'roll tools

Don't be gay

Do you mean rock and roll star, or pop star, or just popular artist? There are many paths you can take, but being 'talented' is helpful.

Devote your life to it. Be willing to accept failure until you eventually succeed, no matter how long it takes (fuck your 26 goal, don't have a time limit).

If you have doubts, you shouldn't do it in the first place. It should be an impulse, you should be constant compulsion to write and improve your craft. Every job you work, every step you take, every breath you breathe, is so you can continue to write and improve your music in your free time. We all need relaxation time, have fun and make bad decisions or you'll have nothing to write about.

It's not a question, it's an answer.

Go do it, or don't, there is no in between.

Know how you get to "know the right people?" you work your ass off and show your art to others, it increases your chances of running into those "right people".
