- Music I Am
- No Comments
The moment when you knew you wanted to be a musician:
I always saw myself as a composer, even as a toddler, before knowing what that was I was “composing” music I sung or whistled or performed with pots and pans or anything available.
An important skill for a career in music that does not have anything to do with an instrument or making music:
languages, psychology
Two ways you stay motivated:
Know what inspires you and do more of it. Love what you do, think of the paycheck and your bills.
