That lack of notoriety doesn’t make them any less special to those whose lives they’ve touched. Nor does it mean they’re any less talented- they might just be plying their trade in smaller circles or honing their craft in a genre that doesn’t lend itself well to radio. Maybe it’s by choice.

Not everyone wants to top the charts.
