Its inevitable to experience this as artists are naturally rebellious and can be lone wolves. So whenever I have encountered this in a band I have been in, I have found bringing it back to what we can do together and what is best for the band rather than the individuals in it has helped to restore some harmony. Unfortunately, sometimes differences become too much and of someone wants to leave then it's bes tyto let them go.

Clashing egos is inevitable in an industry where ego is praised. However in the most cohesive bands/groups respect is the most important and if members of a band or performance have this for each other then ego should not interfere as generally this makes for a great performance. As someone who has managed bands and dealt with egos in studio, in my opinion this will always start with respect if there is no respect for each other then it is not something that can easily be dealt with. Make sure to develop a basis of respect and trust right from the beginnning to make sure that ego never gets in the way of the main objective, which is to entertain!

This is tough, it's rife in the music industry notably with some of the greatest bands and artists we've ever listened to. You need to recognise the dynamics, focus on the strengths and make suggestions based on that. Trial and error too, may find some things work better than others. Also your front person may not be the person fronting the band right now, it could even be the bassist. Main thing is you have to share a goal as a band that will be your glue.

In live performances, clashing egos can disrupt the flow, but harmony is always achievable. Setting the stage for mutual respect with clear ground rules ensures everyone feels valued. Encouraging open dialogue allows members to express concerns constructively, fostering understanding. Most importantly, focusing on the shared vision and passion for music unites the group, keeping the performance at its best. How do you handle such challenges in your performances? Let’s discuss effective strategies.

In creative partnerships, two words hold immense power: 'no' and 'compromise.' Building mutual respect with your co-creator or band member transforms 'no' into a tool that speeds up the workflow and keeps you both aligned. With my production partner (and brother), we follow one simple rule: we only move forward if we both say 'yes.' If one of us says 'no,' we keep experimenting until we agree. By setting egos aside and focusing on the shared positive energy of agreement, we've achieved multiple hits and #1 singles. The key? Don’t waste time on disagreements. Focus on collaboration and the shared goal of creating something you're both proud of.
