In Music, Charisma Is Necessary To Make It
The path to amazing opportunity goes through many people on its long winding road. These denizens have the influence and knowledge that will enable you to reach amazing heights, but they receive payment in your charisma. In other words, if you’re not a likable person, influential people won’t gravitate towards you.
Or, anyone else, for that matter. Life improves drastically when people can relax around you, be themselves, and relate to you in conversation. It’s not only about talking either; everything from your personality to how you carry yourself are important parts of your charisma. Your hygiene, your way of talking, your surroundings, things that you may find miniscule can be the difference between corporate opportunity and minimum-wage.
“It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know,” says the age-old mantra about making connections. How do you think that those “who-to-knows” get established? By being charismatic, you’ll win at this, as well as nearly every other aspect of life.
Here are some general tips on improving your charisma.
Always listen, really
Don’t wait for someone to finish speaking before giving your two cents. Listen. Actively, at that. Nod your head, engage with their conversation, and then offer a response. Showing someone that you’re paying attention to what they have to say is essential in building their trust and opinion of you. It makes you look mature and understanding as well. Also, never cut across someone while they’re speaking; apologize if you do.
Plaster a genuine smile on your face
Many people may not realize it, but a resting facial expression says a lot about the type of person you are. It can either encourage people or scare them away from talking to you. Your friends may know that you’re the nicest person on Earth but to the untrained eye, a resting scowl may deter people from approaching you. Gradually, work in a resting smile onto your face. It won’t be overnight, but eventually it will happen.
Follow through with promises even if it kills you
If you say that you’re going to do something, always do it. You’re only as good as your word in this world and making sure that your reputation remains solid should be the number one thing on your mind. It’s a great way to establish reputation, which in turn works to your overall charisma. People will treat you better, causing you to carry yourself better.
Undersell and over deliver = positive impression
This is the most important one, also piggy-backing off of following through with promises. If you promise to do something, make it less than you know what you can do. Then, exceed expectations. You’ll impress your audience, helping to establish your name. Continuing to do this will give you the charisma and reputation to take on the world.
After solidifying himself with his Conway The Machine-assisted ‘Goat Eater’ standout “Details,” Boogie aka Boogie3x announces the sequel to 2017’s ‘Ants & Elephants’ by uploading a new visual to YouTube featuring three unreleased tracks all crafted by Nottz. The fellow Virginia-based creative and DMP member not only handled instrumentation for the aforementioned records but will serve as Ants & Elephants 2 executive producer. Additional production on the project will be handled by 1500 or Nothin’ sound architect PointGuard; most known for his work with Nipsey Hussle, Kelly Rowland, and Lupe Fiasco.
Speaking on the unique way he decided to share the news, Gerald Junior states:
“Back in the day when artists would premiere videos on 106th & Park and TRL they would tease another record or give us a 2 for 1 to raise anticipation for albums. I wanted to do what I do best and restore that nostalgic feeling as I gear up to release my new body of work. Also, I got a chance to pay homage to my brother Treie, who was shot and killed last year in Hampton.”
Watch the CheckTheCredits-directed visuals for “Cold,” “Champion,” and “W.G.B.A.” below as well as stream the original ‘Ants & Elephants’ on your DSP of choice below. Expect the artwork, tracklist, and release date for Ants & Elephants 2 to be unveiled next month via HBE/Better Music Group.
No stranger to bringing his love life issues into the booth, West Coast-based wordsmith Skrizzy unloads the Armani Darling-co-directed music video for “Safe Space.” The latest is the follow-up to last month’s “More” featuring Cartier was produced by Drecyy and DJ Papi Bear and continues his bi-weekly scheduled releases leading up to I’m Not Toxic, You Are the EP, which is set to hit online retailers in March.
Giving fans insight on the track’s origins, the talented triple threat explains:
“I wrote this song after I stepped out on my relationship and overheard my then-girlfriend talking about it with her friends who continued the discussion once she left the room. With the conversation fresh on my brain, I picked up a pen and did what I do best. Women want men to be in touch with their feelings and express how we truly feel, but the moment we do they run to tell their friends, creating trust issues.”
“Safe Space” is available now across all streaming platforms via 4Eva Trill. Take a look at the new visual below.
