Dhillon: Many young people today aspire to break into the music industry as an artist or even behind the scenes as a producer or songwriter, however it's not as easy as it seems to breakthrough.
Youth today idolise artists such as Ciara and Kanye West but the youth fail to realise that they didn't get where they are today just by luck. Popular homegrown artists such as Kano, Jay Sean and Estelle put the work, effort and time in to achieving the goals they strived for.
