I love this. I have always felt an unrelenting need to create, but spent most of my life trying to keep it at bay (I recently stopped holding back, and it’s been amazing). It’s difficult to explain to people who don’t feel the same, and so rewarding to talk to those who do. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing this. I'll be throwing my first local show tomorrow and I've been super pumped all week. It's the night before and all these thoughts of doubt started to creep in. Feel like I'm going crazy with putting so much effort but I know it will be all be worth it.
First of all, I am also a fellow Dave Grohl fan! Listening to The Colour and the Shape transports me back to high school instantly. Secondly, I have to be honest with myself. I have many things I love in life and music is one of them. I wouldn't say I have a single "need" but I do have passions and one is a strong "want" to write music. According to your logic, I will never actually succeed then in music, which, checks out because I have only ever finished a few tracks over a decade and just dabble in it when life isn't too stressful. I am now in my 40s and realizing I have played life safe with a job, home and family but without feeling I have accomplished what I want in life. I believe I have a strong "want" to write music, but I doubt it will ever be a "need." I feel this is mainly due to all the demands of family, friends and work that I put before my own desire to produce music. My question for you is this (and this may be a good follow-up video): how do you feel you can nurture that burning want into a true need? I have some thoughts on this but I would love to hear it from someone who has actually done the hard work, released the records, made the business, etc. Many thanks for all you do for the EDM community!
Thank you, sometimes the only support we have is from someone through the internet, it is difficult for me to have the consistency to continue working even though I still do not see progress in my project, thank you very much for your advice Justin.
Its crazy to think that this just now gotten into my feed and have been subbed to this channel for minute now lol. Great content for sure and thank you for giving some insight. Very inspiring and helps me recenter myself. Can't wait to meet others as well.
I see my friends bragging about their degrees and how their starting salary is 40k a year, etc, and I think to myself how fun it would be to see them walk a day in my shoes. in the music industry, success is not guaranteed for your hard work. they get to write their essays and hand them in then get a degree that lets them go and get a high-paying job. it's a very straightforward path. I don't think they could handle what we do. I don't think most people could handle this type of work. people like to know their hard work is guaranteed to pay off, they would not work a job if there was a 1% chance their boss would pay them. but us musicians are crazy enough to gamble on life like that as we know the reward is worth the risk.
I just want to say if anyone out there is worried / thinking along the lines of 0:35 I've had multiple 'Stability for Life' jobs, not worth it. Not everything it's chalked up to be.
I'm at the engineering school, I get really good grades and I also work on my music. I'm smart at school too. Is that a reason I'm NOT made for music ?? 😨 But really, I start to be scared about that 😓
I'm actually making it here in Lima-Perú, the chaotic and insanely populated (13 million humans) major city of a 3rd world country (southamerica), with my raw voice and a shamanic drum !!!!! Yes, you're reading well !!!! If I can make it, ANYONE CAN MAKE IT !!!!
The saddest part is that your life will always be unstable as an artiste, especially when you coming from the bottom, because youre always restless, constantly thinking about the next move , constantly worried about your next song, constantly about the direction of your art, 🌹 constantly worried about factors like money, constantly taking risk , sacrificing the little stable life yiu could get for something uncertain ❤
i'm really ambitious to grow on youtube super fast, i'm hoping to get an Instagram soon to help promotion. do you have any other promotion tips? also, i'm hoping to join the academy soon! i don't know if being 14 is too young for the program though 😅
I feel exactly like this video..did I make a mistake, should I just quit? But deep down I know I’m made for this and I wouldn’t be able to handle a cubicle, my brain doesn’t function that way, it needs to be stimulated by creating music.. Another thing I worry about is, I’m more of an underground music producer, progressive house (think of Hernan cattaneo, guy J, nick warren) and I don’t know how I would be able to reach the level I want to be at.. it makes me feel so dejected at times and question myself. I’m learning how to dj, and have gotten significantly better at my music, I might sign a few tracks to some great progressive labels like Mango Alley, Balkan Connection in a few months to a year even, I’m confident. But I still worry about how I go on from there in terms of growth and success.. it’s scary
damn, that really resonated with me 😮💨🫶 thanks for sharing this, I see so many similarities to my own path! this music project wants me to do this! let’s rock this, peeps! 🙌🔥💜

Even though I don’t make music though I absolutely would love to. Being a photographer and videographer this is inspiring on my side of work as well.
I'm at the engineering school, I get really good grades and I also work on my music. I'm smart at school too. Is that a reason I'm NOT made for music ?? 😨 But really, I start to be scared about that 😓

I went the music path from my childhood till 17 years old but then decided to switch my life to standard "safe" path. And it was my worst decision
The motivational epic music 🥹
We have no other option
