To make sure and discover your true talent and if u believe in yourself that music is for u indeed and u have the love and passion for it, then start asking around to get people to help u let them know of your talent be brave that's the only way they will see that u are serious get yourself enrolled in opportunities such as competitions, whether u be successful or not u may meet people there that have connections that may just see the talent within that other people don't seem to recognize never ever give up and keep going u will be heard of eventually , go backstage in parties, find out the producers where they are located go and ask them for the opportunity to hear your stuff and keep knocking on the door one must open one day!
