What is An Established Artist

If you are booking gigs, then likely you are an established artist.  Established artists have typically spent years honing their craft, building a career, and growing a dedicated following in the music community. Longevity necessitates that they continue to refine their skills, expand their audience, and explore new inspirations and connections along their chosen pathway.

Committed to their craft and equipped with improved skills they are in a better position to maintain monetary optimism and an evolving public persona.

The above description is of course a generalization,  somewhat vague, highly subjective, but is the best description we could come up with. Pls apply in only one category.
