The audience will find the artist who matches their interests. If you're not being true to yourself, your audience can't find you, because there's a wall up between who you are and who they're seeing.

Interpretation

What this quote means

Being authentic is crucial for connecting with your audience as an artist.

This quote by Hilary Hahn emphasizes the importance of authenticity in art. When an artist is not true to themselves, they create a barrier that prevents their true self from being seen, making it difficult for the audience to connect with them. Therefore, embracing one's genuine identity allows for a more profound relationship with the audience, facilitating a connection based on shared interests and emotions.
