If you didn't come out of this quarantine with : (1) a new skill, (2) your online venture started or (3) more knowledge about your current skillsets - You never lacked time, you lacked discipline.
Artists & Producers!
When you first meet someone, don't share your music straight away. Getting to know people for months if not years before trying to get favours will set you up so much better in the long run.
I love music. No matter how much you learn and progress, you can never really fathom it. Infinite innovation and endless possibilities with every choice that you make. That’s why it’s so fun!
People don’t realise how much it costs to be an independent artist..
beats, studio time, mixing, mastering, promotions, ads, merch, graphics, videos plus the time and sweat that goes into perfecting your music.
SHIT AINT EASY 😓
Pursuing a music career means:
-you’ll fuck up a lot
-get rejected a lot
-have no social life
-your tracks will sound bad
-get ignored by labels
-be up all night
-go to bed at odd hours
-spend a lot of time in the studio
-overthink everything
And still keep going.
