“A record deal doesn't make you an artist; you make yourself an artist.”
— Lady Gaga

Simplified Meaning:
Just getting a record deal doesn't automatically make someone talented or creative in music. Becoming truly skilled and expressive in your craft is something you work on yourself. Think about an author getting a book contract. Having that deal is a great opportunity, but it doesn't make them a good writer. They still need to work on their storytelling, develop their unique style, and put in the effort to create something special. In the same way, musicians need to practice, find their own voice, and connect with their audience on a deeper level. So, people shouldn't rely on external validation to define their abilities. It's their dedication, creativity, and hard work that will truly make them stand out.
