Let me ask you this: what was your first concert and how did it make you feel? Mine was Switchfoot at the House of Blues Anaheim. The show changed the trajectory of my life! It was the moment I decided I would become a full-time musician and that I too, would play a show at the House Of Blues Anaheim one day. And, that might've been one of the more ridiculously things I've said considering I was a beginner guitarist at the time and had zero connection to the music or entertainment industry. Well, I stuck with it and God made a way and I did eventually achieve those dreams.
However, like any career path, there have been some major ups and downs, which got me thinking, what is it that keeps us pursuing crazy dreams? Along that pursuit my relationship with music has changed from a vehicle of self expression, to the ultimate life goal, to a paycheck, and an existential question: Do I want to keep doing this for a living?
And while the answer is still yes, it's not a yes for the same reasons it used to be. In many ways, I feel trapped in the pursuit of music. Maybe it's the challenge of finding a new job when starting over in a different career path, maybe it's the fear of leaving the familiar, maybe it's the fear of quitting when you're just once connection away. We'll discuss these things and more in this video.
So whether you are just starting out in music, thinking about pursuing a career in music, or a seasoned music industry veteran, there's something in my journey you'll be able to relate to.
