Should I sign this record deal?

You probably don't feel an emotional calling for being a taxi driver or waiter either, but you will do that while hoping for your big break. Treat this the same. It's in an industry you love. Be one of those artists that has a band but also does solo albums in a different genre. Even better, write music as a fusion between the two styles and become known as the genius that invented the jazz/soul/pop/country sound.
