I know a lot of people who are struggling musicians; it's a hard life, and I've risked being that. The rewards are tremendous now that I've made it, I thank God every day. But I put it all on the line for it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been through a lot in the music industry, in life. I've learned that I have to be tough in this world.
I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.
I always want to set myself a challenge by doing something no-one would expect me to do! But, having said that, I don't feel as a musician you can steer too far away from what you normally do.
I've been a musician my whole life. I'm really enjoying making music again.
I am part of an age-old profession of musicianship. I believe these times require grounding, real-ness and fun. Let's do it. Whatever happens is all good.
There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.
I'm just opening the doors. And a lot of this is new to me - thinking about it, and letting go again and again and again, trusting that if I'm meant to continue working as a musician, it'll happen. If I'm not, then pull out the life support.
Those who have expressed doubts and misgivings about their ability to live this kind of life shouldn't try, because being a musician is not something you chose to be, it is something you are.
You can expect nothing in being a musician, and you have to be just very thankful every time it goes positively for you.
A lot of my friends are struggling musicians. Being a struggling actor, it's just frustrating because you're not allowed to do what you want to do.
