ABSTRACT
This chapter is a general introduction for ‘Making It Happen’. Discussions include anecdotes from the author's touring history and an analysis of the author's battle with imposter syndrome. The author describes the power of knowledge in extinguishing doubt. A figure is included that depicts one of the author's first stadium performances and how small she felt on an enormous stage. Award-winning producer and musician Charlie Deakin-Davies discusses imposter syndrome and the importance of being proud of your work. Discussions include pushing through self-doubt and taking small steps towards a goal. There is a description of what is to come later in the book, and why any musician starting out should read on.
