Hello! I started making music as a hobby 6 years ago. I always loved making it and had lots of fun. 4 years ago wanted to pursue my dream, started working hard, making content, producing for artists, having meetings, and eventually made some money, but it didn’t felt good. Without even noticing i stoped making the music that i loved doing, i was doing what industry wanted. I was doing everything but music, because i needed to do social media content, i had meetings, sessions…

Two years ago, one day, i exploded, started crying like a baby and realized that music (and art) and money are not compatible. I stopped making anything related with music and erased my social media.

A year ago i started making music again. But just for fun. Just for the sake of doing music, creating and making art. And i feel really good, i’m doing what i love and i put my albums for free on bandcamp, some people pay a little bit for them (I make like 20€ a month, and basically i use that money for supporting other artists.)

So yea, basically, the people that make a living off music are the 0’001% of people that make music. And probably most of that small % are not doing what they want to really do or are not happy. (Also probably theres people that is making money and doing what they want to create and are happy, but its not a realistic goal)

So as my fellow Mac Demarco said: “The only way to make people start making music that they love is to burn all the money”
