How shallow are we talking about?
Como on guys i want to hear your opinions

Art Angels level shallow.
Be very attractive.
Or have a retarded gimmick that sets you apart from the rest to get attention (see Deadmau5's mouse head or Daft Punk's robot masks).
If possible, find a way to combine the two. Your fame will come overnight.

But Grimes looks horrible, how did she attain fame?

being quirky and feminist is trendy right now
So hard work doesn't pay off anymore?
You have to learn how to market yourself, there are lots of talentless musicians that are famous because they know how to do that or have someone that knows how to do that.
Another thing is that we live in the internet age, you have to learn how to go viral, it sounds like some vague esoteric thing but actually its pretty easy.

The guy who wrote it explians how the blogs work, you have to get your shit on all the smaller blogs, then the bigger blogs will see this and not wanting to lose out will cover you too.
You have to be a faggot and spam your shit on every well known website.
Like why do you think that dumb bitch grimes gets spammed here?
No one actually likes her, but the viral marketers keep posting it over and over again.
You see, mtv is irrlavnt, in this new age you have to get your name and sound and face everywhere, and you can do this through meme's and social media.
Retards who fall for the marketing will post it over and over again and spread it for you.
And, yeah i just said the internet matters more, but old media is still kind of important too, getting on the radio is important, a lot of people still listen to the radio believe it or not

Sorry m8, but your teachers in school lied to you. Hard work has never paid off.
Lying, cheating, backstabbing, kissing ass...these have always been the hallmarks for success in life. And always will be.

So it is hard work. Between recording, making songs, playing live, marketing and research will take me a good amount of time.

music is ultimately a product, yes there is art, but you are trying to make money and get famous so it is a product, and people have written books about marketing and advertising, how people are tricked into buying shit, people buy ciggerates even though it gives them cancer.
There are ways to market yourself even if you are complete shit, you just got learn how.
aaay
