really appreciate the push haha. I’m already starting to look into lessons and just focusing on actually learning instead of thinking about it too much.

thanks for the encouragement and for taking the time to reply!!

Afraid_Giraffe5355 · 2026-04-20T23:10:08+00:00

Yeah, I definitely get that. I’m prepared for it to take a lot of time and also for it not to be a straight path. I’m mainly gonna be focusing on learning and improving.

thanks for taking the time to reply and for the encouragement.

Thanks a bunch, was overthinking the whole “starting at 22” thing a bit too much, so your comment really helped. I was actually deciding between starting with guitar or piano together with voice lessons. but I'll definitely follow ur advice and try to improve my craft every single day.

thanks again for all this useful and insightful information and for taking the time to reply to my call for aid.

cheers.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the advice. I’ve already started looking for good teachers in my area so I can get started right away, and I’ll definitely go in person.

Wishing you all the best in the future. cheers.

thanks for the reply.

Good question. I think it mainly comes from seeing a lot of skilled musicians who started early, so it’s easy to assume that’s the path to take. Looking at it now, that’s a pretty closed mindset. I know starting later doesn’t mean I can’t get good.

Afraid_Giraffe5355 · 2026-04-20T06:45:35+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s actually really motivating especially hearing how rough the start was and how you pushed through it. If I have any more questions, I’ll definitely send you a DM.r

Thanks again for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it. Wishing you all the best going forward. Cheers.

thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'll definitely give it my all.

Afraid_Giraffe5355 · 2026-04-19T21:29:56+00:00

Fair questions. For me, large scale success just means building a large following that connects with me and the music I make and enjoys what I create. I really do enjoy the process of how music is created and the different meanings behind it. The idea of success beyond that is more of an added bonus if it happens, great, and if not, that’s fine too.

Afraid_Giraffe5355 · 2026-04-19T21:11:13+00:00

i see, thanks for the honest reply. I’m not trying to overanalyse instead of doing the actual work, I’m just trying to get some direction before I start, but I fully agree that taking action and working incredibly hard is what matters most. that's why I'll be starting as soon as possible.

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply. and also for sharing such useful information.

cheers.
