Some may wonder why I never furthered my music to the next level. Maybe for possible touring, possible label signing and all that stuff. I’ve always got mixed opinions with my music. Some hate it. Some love it. Yes, believe it or not. I do have quite the following with my music. Yes, I have a fan base of my own with my music. With that being said, I am honored that some people out there actually enjoy my music
The question you have to ask is, will I ever have an actual career with my music down the road? Probably not. I just do music and write songs for fun. That’s it. It’s just a hobby of mine.
A lot of musicians and bands have this attitude of, “Hey, my music is great, listen to my stuff.” I never lived in that kind of fantasy world that a lot musicians seem to be in these days. I just do music for fun, pure and simple.
I believe that a lot of musicians and bands take themselves way too seriously. A lot of them are pretty desperate to get heard, to get recognition and they just feel important to get known. The truth is I never saw my music as a career kind of thing. I play music because it is pretty much all I have in life. It gives me something to do during the day and keeps me going.
I never cared to make money off of music. I never cared to get fame, that so many bands seem to be obsessing with these days.
I could further my music toward the next step if I wanted to, but who knows, maybe someday it’ll actually happen. If it doesn’t, I’m cool with that too. I just want to keep playing my guitar and making music. It must be nice to win Battle of the Bands, open for some big national acts and play some huge festivals, but honestly, all that stuff is kind of silly. I just want to play music. I never cared for big opportunities.
