Music isn't only a profession.

There's more to being a musician than just making music.

I have no technical training and am completely uneducated in music.

I wasn't making music consciously when I was younger. I was a musician, but that has its own stigmas. Anywhere on the planet, it's one of the more undervalued positions.

Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.

Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

Music is too important to be left to professionals.

A lot of musicians aren't proud; they'll do other work, just to be able to play music. I guess that's the way it's always going to be - musicians will have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet.

I never really thought about becoming a professional musician.

I studied audio engineering at university. The background I am from, music was never seen as a viable career; it was always a hobby.
