I think Blue is a horrible example. How you expect a wealthy kid that gets/gotten, everything she could ever want to wanna work really hard at something she does for fun. What exactly is her motivation. No diss to Jay, but how we know shes gifted and not just talented? I cant see a piano tutor saying their kid is 'pretty good' at the piano. Hell yea they're gunna hype it some to keep that job, not to mention the younger your kid starts music with a great teacher, the faster they'll pick it up.
But back on topic, the rush to monetize something you genuinely enjoy doing will legit kill your enjoyment of it. Especially if you are young. If we're looking at it in just art, that means you can only do art you think will make you money. You cant take on any projects you might personally want, it has to just be commissions you think will sell.
Turning a natural skill into something that feels like a job, will really make you want to just walk away. People not talented in that field usually think its w/e and no big deal, but think of it more like someone forcing you to take you talent in a direction you dont really wanna go to. That would kill all your motivation and enjoyment in it.
You constantly bringing up that story by some wealthy old rapper is probably having the opposite affect of your intentions. Maybe she does she the value, but doesnt think turning it into a job will pay off better than it being a fun, therapeutic hobby. Being an artist isnt easy, especially with all these AI "artists" running around now. Either way, this is a decision that has to come naturally, you being pushy might be reinforcing her decision.
