be a musician

i dont think i’ll ever be a musician…

I’ve been writing songs, playing guitar and putting together fuzzy electronic stuff for a while now but I still find it difficult to call myself a musician… do you reckon people have to play professionally or do you have another criteria you have reach before you can be confident to call your self a musician?

i play guitar, piano, hamonica and i sing.
i want to learn as many instruments as i can and play abroad.

I got the degrees and the recitals to prove it, but it’s a lifelong thing.

Been playing guitar too long. It’s time to get it together & play some shows. I’ve got my record done, now I need to market & promote it.

You know, i’ve been around the music world for about a year now, and i still havent started my career. I know what I have to do, i just need some supporters and some time…I’m starting soon. I’m determined and committed…when my parents let me.

This is cleaning time! Wow, how crazy and self-centered do you people think I am? No wonder I was deeply depressed: I wanted to be a musician, a painter, a writer, read all the books in my library… The fact is, for all I know (again!) I am a musician! If I play well or not, it’s another matter. Sure, I have to sort out my priorities! Changing “being a painter” by “painting more”, “being a musician” by “finishing my music courses”, “being a writer” by “writing books because it’s fun to do it”. It’s all part of the biggest achievement of all: that I am not what I do, that I accept myself as an artist in the making and that will always be that way. That the thing we do are worth more than any recognition we can get from the world – art is worth doing because it’s great and that’s all.
I love everything I do, that’s enough for me.

i am 16 years old, ive always been a BIG fan of music. i found out that i could sing when i was about 6 yrs old and i have been singing ever since. im learning how to play guitar. I want to be a country musician because country really is my life. What they sing about and what i sing about in my songs can relate to anyone else. i want to move to Nashville so i can try to make it come true and i want it bad! Music is what i live for i live and breath it. Without it i would probly not survive. I like seeing people relate to my songs it makes me feel good and i know that i can make a differnce in peoples lives. i sing kareoke every saturday and i love it i love performing!

It took me 9 months, but I finally got a gig. And then another…and another…and another…

I finally feel like a person again.

Since I was in primary school, I’ve known that music would be a part of my future. I think that I’m still a bit too young to do anything but keep on practicing my guitar and trying my best to achieve my goal.

Music is a passion, and nothing could possibly make me happier than being able to wake up working with the thing I love most. Even though this dream feels so far away, anything is possible if you want it bad enough to do something about it.

I’m glad that I’ve recognised some form of talent in music early, so that I have more chance in making it. My family has never opposed me wanting a career in music, so I’m hoping that if that blessed day comes that I actually become a musician they’ll support me 100%.
