Even if I'm making music for people for $20 a night, at least I'm making music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The wage for most musicians is a modest amount, and that includes me some of the time.
This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.
You know, I never did music for money. I did music to hear myself in the club, and to hear my creation on the radio.
I have my dream job. I get paid to make music.
The only reason I'm able to do music is because I'm making money on 'Community.' If I wasn't, I couldn't pay for things.
The money factor had been kind of my excuse as to why I hadn't put out any music. So I just found the cheapest way to make music and get it to people, and that was via the Internet.
I don't want anyone to fail, so if you can make money off music even though you can't sing or dance, that's genius.
I don't think music is my job - I don't think about it that way, because I don't really get paid. There's no paycheck at the end; it's more of a 'whatever is left over' kind of situation.
I am so blessed that all I've done in my professional life, since I was 17-18, is play music and somehow make a dollar here and there.
I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.
