PSA to all artists, especially developing artists - @AppleMusic no longer allows name changes. They want you to split your catalogue between your old and new name if you decide to rebrand. Makes zero sense 🤦🏻‍♀️

Interning really is the cheat code. I didn't fully grasp the value of it when I was younger because I was worried about paying my lil rent. Go crazy with internships helping dope people / companies and you'll find your way. No doubt.
