Education Quote by Kenneth Edmonds

“It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it” is the kind of backstage realism that cuts through the mythology of creative success. As a musician, Kenneth Edmonds is speaking from inside an industry that sells certainty after the fact: every breakout looks inevitable in hindsight, every “overnight success” gets repackaged into a neat origin story. The line refuses that packaging. It’s a shrug with a spine.

The intent is practical, almost protective. By flattening the stakes - hit or not - Edmonds moves the goalposts from external validation to internal accumulation. That’s not feel-good coaching; it’s a survival strategy in a market where algorithms, label politics, and audience mood can turn craft into a coin toss. He’s reminding artists (and maybe himself) that you can’t control reception, only process.

The subtext is quieter: fear is expensive. When a career can be derailed by one underperforming single or one bad bet, the temptation is to play it safe, repeat what worked, chase trends. Edmonds counters with a permission slip to experiment, to risk being ignored, to treat “failure” as research instead of shame. Learning becomes the non-negotiable return on investment.

Contextually, this fits the long arc of modern pop and R&B production, where output is constant and the feedback loop is brutal. The quote frames creativity as iterative labor, not divine inspiration - a stance that keeps you moving when the charts don’t.
