Good Charlotte give advice to young musicians

Good Charlotte's Dean Butterworth and Joel Madden give advice to aspiring musicians in this APTV MI Conversations Series episode, hosted by Ryan J. Downey.

Butterworth encourages young musicians to practice as much as possible. “I still practice every day,” he says. “You just have to have that drive, that nothing's going to stop you.”

Madden says that musicians have to understand their talents and their own forms of success. “Optimism is the key to all of it,” he says.

Madden and Butterworth also take a couple of questions from audience members, including a member of a young pop-punk band, at the end of the video. Check out what they have to say in the video! —Anne Nickoloff
