I wouldn't call myself successful, but I'm fairly well known where I live for playing the harp.
I just practise as much as possible, learn as many songs as I can, and volunteer for gigs to get noticed. Now I'm asked to play at weddings, birthdays, trad sessions - you name it!
Also, it may seem lame, but I play to the elderly every once in a while. Not for attention, but to get my music out there.
