Marco Nodari conquista tutto: il premio che cambia le regole del gioco
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
There are challenges every day—and, unfortunately, the possibility of envy or people trying to bring you down—but passion and a healthy obsession keep you moving forward. Even with a Grammy nomination and a track record of working with major national and international artists, you have to fight every day; without that passion and dedication to constant hard work, you cannot progress.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am both an artist and an entrepreneur; I own my own record and publishing label—diversification is essential. I have a catalog of over 60,000 tracks from around the world. I do interviews like this one every day—and I thank you for it—and I have connections in every corner of the globe, though primarily with Latin markets. I even lived in Buenos Aires for a time, where Sony Music released my first Spanish-language album. It wasn’t easy—dealing with a different language and many obstacles—but it was a wonderful challenge. That is what I love: the constant challenge, the hard work, and the study…
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
This is a message for anyone wanting to dedicate their life to something—in this case, music, though I believe the same applies to other jobs or professions. We all—and I mean *all* of us—possess a talent, whether in one field or another; yet talent alone isn’t enough. You have to improve and refine it every day, or else it will slip away. It always comes down to persistence, study, and passion. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the image social media, TV, and the like project—the idea that someone can become a star overnight. If you can’t actually do anything and lack a solid foundation, it will all vanish—including the easy money, the millions of views, and so on. Reality is very different. But if you have a solid foundation, study, and knowledge, you will move forward. Of course, it isn’t easy; there are always choices, compromises, and sacrifices to be made. No one is going to hand you anything on a silver platter—so fight for what you believe in.
