What are your thoughts on removing old work as you progress as an artist?
This specifically relates to artists who release things digitally through a DIY tool like Distrokid- what is your opinion on removing music that you think no longer represents your skill as an artist?
Because releasing music is so easy to do nowadays, I release recordings fairly often, and I'm still early in my career and am making noticeable progress. But then I listen back to my old recordings, and I think they're pretty bad, and don't want people to judge my present musicianship by those recordings. I've never removed them from streaming services, because I have some mental holdup about "honesty" or something like that, but I'm starting to think I should be more restrictive about which of my recordings are available to the public. What are your thoughts on this?
