When bands & musicians get bigger opportunities in their careers, like opening for national acts, winning Battle of the Bands competitions, winning radio station contests, winning songwriting awards, etc. Bands get all that, and soon after, they act like they’re so big and cool. Acting like they’re so popular.

If I got all that stuff with my music, I would act like that stuff means nothing to me. None of that stuff is important to your career. Bands obsess with opportunity too much. They want to get bigger things and move forward.

I do want success with my music, yes, but I’m not gonna have anything to do with Battle of the Bands or any of the stupid contests. No offense to you bands out there, that goes for this kind of stuff. This is never going to be me.

Bands act like winning contests and awards, is a pretty rewarding thing for their careers. It actually means something to them. In my eyes, the most rewarding thing about music, is writing the songs for the people and having the people enjoying it. That should be rewarding.

I would like to open for a national act someday. If I ever got that opportunity, it wouldn’t be a random national act because they’re famous. It would have to be an artist that I like and admire.

I would like to get signed to a small indie label someday, but I won’t go for any random label. When a label asks you to sign with them, you have to be careful. You can’t jump up to any opportunity that is thrown at you. You have to be careful with everything in the music business. If I were to get signed, it would have to be with the right label with careful research.

I would like to release an official album on a real CD someday but I don’t think I’m gonna bother, because nobody’s buying CD’s anymore and people are downloading music off the internet mostly. Therefor, I would try to get my music on Itunes sometime down the road.

As you all can see, I would like to be taken seriously as a good songwriter, instead of treating it in a negative direction. I don’t obsess with opportunity. I’m all about creating the music and making the art. That’s all that should matter.
