Sheryl Crow has spoke candidly about the tough rivalry in the music industry.
For those unfamiliar, Sheryl rocketed to prominence in 1993 with her mega-hit song All I Wanna Do.
Sheryl said in her most recent interview with Variety Magazine that she would not be able to build a name for herself if she began her musical career now.
She also explained why she made this comment, citing the music industry's "ego-driven" nature.
"When I think about it, it does make me sad that kids grow up now in my line of work where you hope you write a song as big as your brand," she told the audience.
The 63-year-old continued: "And the brand is so 24 hours a day—it's so cultivated and so ego driven that if I were coming up in today's world, I wouldn't be able to do it, because the ego is the thing that makes me so miserable."
She even said, "I already struggle with having my feelings hurt." I can't think what it would be like to walk into it knowing I had to create this image of a renowned, safe person while yet being sensitive and artistic."
Later in the conversation, Sheryl discussed her mental health difficulties, saying, "I just want to write music that makes me happy I wrote it."
