Well. It would be really great to hear a more in-depth video on why you don't do composition as your full-time job. What is the reality of a composer that makes you not want to dive in head on? I'm pretty sure everyone of your followers would really like to know also, because many of us probably envision a "dream" that they'd be able to do just that, composition full-time. I mean, you touch that subject at the end, but just throwing it out there. Many are most likely also surprised that you don't even really want to do it. I fully get the point of not doing what you love as your job, but there's got to be more to that as you have probably done at least some paid gigs. A down-to-earth view on that would be very much appreciated.

You have the most important qualities: diligence and endurance. You can't be imagined lazy. 👍

Love this video Christopher! I remember watching a video of you some years ago explaining why you didn't want to compose music full time, and I relate to your perspective so much. I'm currently at the beginning of my journey with my online course, private lessons, and creating KZfaq content while composing for film projects. Super inspired by you!
