The title 'Pro' may mean that one is 'making their living' as a performing musician but that doesn't neccesarily mean they're an exceptional musician. There're plenty of music acts out there today who display terrific onstage showmanship, but who lack in anything beyond rudimentary musicianship skills. On the other hand, there are even more highly skilled musicians (especially jazz/classical) who have absolutely no showmanship skills. To succeed in the music performance biz you need 'both'.

It's really sad to see the appreciation for musicianship and creative music artistry taking a backseat to glitz, glamour, and hype.

We must never stop working to further improve our keyboard & vocal chops, expand our musical artistry (creativity), as well as continue to hone our onstage showmanship skills. This (to me) is the 'complete' required package for success.
