*Death

Rock the boat they recorded the Music videos in the Bahamas. Some people have asked how come she didn’t film in the other states like Miami. Celebrities during that time liked travelling. And even putting a lot of effort into their Music videos. And if you look at Aaliyah music videos. They look very cinematic. Music videos. Were prioritized more then before. They had a flight scheduled the next day. However , they were in a hurry to leave. The plane looks dodgy. It was very small. And also it had a lot of baggage’s.

*Remembering her legacy

They were warned when it comes to having too many things. Because they were tired. They wanted to head home. And on the 25 August 2001.The pilot had traces of Alcohol and cocaine. He is not too blame. However , the company that gave them this small plane. Should hold themselves accountable. Her funeral was held on 31 August 2001.Some many celebrities attended the Funeral.

*What every aspiring singer should know?

Aaliyah was putting herself out there. That was the early 90’s.And social media didn’t exist. However, she had to grind. She was performing everywhere. And that something that is different today. People are using social media to market themselves out there. Ella Mai was discovered on the Internet. Justin Bieber was discovered on YouTube. Should we go back to the old school ways. In our opinion it’s much better. Because you can build a real audience that is keeping up with you.

*Protection

Aaliyah parents were involved in her Music career. However, the mother denies the relationship with R Kelly. Some parents sometimes feel. They have everything under control. However, you don’t really know what happens with your child. And in the Music industry you can easily be caught up. Aaliyah was doing so many things. You have to be careful  with who you surround yourself with. There is so much that can happen. She was young in the Music industry and being taken advantage of. Young woman can easily be preyed upon.

*Work ethic

Aaliyah during the time she was coming up. She was everywhere Movies music , Photoshoots ,Brand collaboration. Realize when you reach that point you constantly have to work . And it can come with its sacrifices. Some people are not ready for that because they are very family oriented . That this career is not for everyone . Right now there is a lot of attraction in famous people. The money and the fame. Has attracted many people. However , they don’t understand the reality that comes with. It can affect your mental health. If your used to living a certain type of life. And then your life changes.

*Education

Aaliyah had a backup plan. She graduated from High school. She also had a good GPA. If this career doesn’t work out. You have to make sure that. You have something that you can do. Ai has taken over . Some people are scared they could be impacted. Producers have used ai to use singers. This means that they have control more on their art. They can do whatever that they like. It may give them creative freedom. Because they don’t have to answer to an artist. Education is never going away. It will help you master so many skills.

*Era

Aaliyah career came before social media. Right now. Aspiring singer could implement tips. Instead of relaying on posting. Putting yourself out there. Ed Sheeran said he will do a lot of performances. Social media has limited fanbase. Because it’s only social media. Rappers release tickets to their show. And sometimes they have to cancel it. Social media has made people believe they have career. However , old school rappers that grinded before social media. Had the leg up. They were able to get attention from their talent. And they weren’t that many. Internet has allowed many people to have careers. However , will these people last. That why you definitely need a backup plan. If you’re career came from social media.

*Fashion

Aaliyah fashion from the 90s and early 2000’s.Her first album had her own personality. And it showed her age. Teenagers are growing up very quickly in the Music industry. People are exploiting their sexuality. So that they can sell Music. And it’s important to stay grounded. And not allow people to exploit you. For their own gain. The music industry is struggling when it comes to money. Chloe bailey even said there is no money in the Music industry. It’s more of your brand. And we are seeing people start YouTube channels , Podcast , Starting their own brands. Having different streams is safe. Just in case something doesn’t work out .You have other avenues.

*Staying true

Staying  true to yourself. Is important. Making music that you would want to listen to. Understand the business of the Music industry .However , you have to like it. So much Music sounds the same. And people are not listening to new Music like that because of it. What is the solution?. What is your taste. Vocals and productions. Have it planned out .It will work out best in your favor. People who stay true to themselves. Have a career that will last for a long time. One hit wonders happen way too frequently. And it’s because they are following trends. Trends are not permanent people won’t follow it forever. It’s a risk.
