what works?

We all know the industry is sketchy, but it's the norm at this point. What can I bring that's a spark. I don't want to be like another one of those Lewis Capaldi copycats. American Idol is rigged anyways. It's also damn near impossible to make it on your own, but that's the way I get full creative control. Demos, Voice Memos, and Notes. Lol the industry...
