Well said! Don’t treat your music as a hobby and then complain you don’t earn money from music!

Pursuing a career as a producer/remixer vs pursuing it as an artist are probably 2 different paths.

Solid advice

Beautiful talk, absolutely agree with you. Finally this is the way we must to take our life, our decisions, our career. Thanks for sharing with us and giving your own life. Gracias!

Overdelivering and nurturing relationships 💯 Thank you, ill Factor! 🙏

What I came to realize fairly recently, after 20 or so years of playing the guitar, and perhaps 10-15 of writing music, is that every minute matters. I now, while still working a demanding day job, try to use even small fragments of time to make anything related to music making. Often, a 90% of time is learning technical stuff that you need to make a beat or a synth sound, or just how to manage something in your DAW. Also I came to realize that I actually like house music, EDM, pop stuff, and that my guitar playing is just not enough to stay relevant and to create new songs. In this day and age, you need to learn a lot more. But good thing is that knowledge is everywhere, which was not the case in the past. Also, you can't really carry your guitar around all the time, but you can do a lot with a laptop and MIDI. Let's see what this year brings!

I'm so lucky to have pub deals, can't imagine how difficult it is to make money without those.

Thanks again Ivan for making me be a part of the mentor group today.

So nice that you talked about very important thighs here! Thank you!

so who approached you and how did you get to be approached? Is it luck or did you reach out to someone first?
