This man has #1 hits, billions of views/streams, sells out arenas,

Talent

>>72289756
not sure about that one

>>72289708
What is he looking at

Good marketing, songs that follow a successful "formula" that makes them appealing to the target audience, very big record label, some luck.

>>72289779
not us thats for sure

>>72289779
the people next to him

He makes songs that people like and seems like a sound bloke. Simple as that really. Maybe he's got good connections as well.

Liberalism. In a conservative climate it would be Michael Gira getting millions of girls wet.

>>72289779
God.

>>72289756
I guess but it's not like there aren't thousands of other doing what he did on youtube. theyre probably better looking too

>>72289787

Of sorts. Not at writing and playing interesting music, if that's what you mean.

>>72289787

KISS ME UNDER THE LIGHT OF A THOUSAND STAAAARS

Probably sold some dudes soul to the devil when he has homeless

>>72289708

>>72289708

>>72289708

>>72290341

>>72289818

>>72289818
lol

>>72290058

He's thinking out loud.

>>72289779
see both side like c h a n e l

Didn't he sleep with TaySway and a bunch of her friends? How does a former homeless man do that?

>>72289787
agree tho

>>72289787
pretty much this. plus young girls forcing the "he's super deep!!" meme on him, which helps with the marketing.

>>72289708
Using words and sounds

>>72289787
This.

His hardworking and talented but luck does play a big part because it's so competitive and everyone is talented and hardworking.

I don't like his music, but still you have to respect what he was done on some level.
