The odds are long but some musicians make it work. Several of the Imagine Dragons band members attended Berklee, and then grinded for years playing cover songs and touring small clubs until they got a recording deal. Would they have succeeded at the same level without that Berklee education? Hard to say.

The Beatles and Van Halen did the same.

Dream Theater is another example of a successful band that was formed at Berklee.
