Rejection, criticism, and haters are unavoidable in the music industry. People will tear you down, tell you your work sucks, and question your potential. But here’s the reality: Use that shit as fuel. Negative feedback is part of the process—filter out the noise and use constructive criticism to grow. Don’t waste energy on haters; their bitterness comes from their own insecurities. Every rejection, every “no” is a step closer to success. You have to be relentless and embrace rejection as part of the journey. When the world doubts you, that’s when you have to dig deep and remind yourself why you started. Believe in yourself when no one else does. Stay focused, keep grinding, and let the haters watch you rise.
