For the aspiring musician:

Why do you make music? To get laid? The illusion of being cool? Something to do on the weekend? Or is it your mission? Many people think music is just entertaining background noise.

I think tho, that no matter the genre, instrument, concept, you need 10,000 hours dedicated to building your craft before you will be able to grow past. The old rule isnt passed on for nothing, for certsin!

You have to NEED it, as much as oxygen, and you have to focus and dedicate to whatever medium you choose.

Theres no easy quick way to being a star or even star material.

Theres 100,000 others on your same instrument out there, what separates you? Even if you have a gimmick or 4 and got picked up by an agency, the first time you’re called on to play anything else out of your set list, you’ll be pointed at like milly vanilly.

Theres no way but to dig in and master your craft so your soul can shine at its potential 🙂

Love yall madly
