Very wise and also hilarious

Damian has a gift of clarity, it’s 2020 now a couple of years since he wrote this, and it’s holding strong. He has something for everyone.
It seemed a little more geared toward the individual supporting musicians rather than the frontman. This makes sense because he is a bassist, and a damn good one at that.
Damian has great tips for growing as a musician, a social media force and generally as a person.
Thanks Damian!
