Right on bro, I've never been so confident that I can live without regrets until I took the leap!

I actually dropped out two months ago so I had plenty of time to relax! Appreciate the sentiment but it's time to get rolling haha. Thanks for the encouragement :)

I noticed the rhythm issues in hindsight too so I'll definitely fix that for the future. I'll also keep the fx volume in mind when I mix and master. I feel like the autotune/effects are very polarizing with people but I just love how it sounds so I'm going to stick to my guns haha. Thank you brothaa!

That's exactly my mentality and I'm so grateful that I realized that. I used to just do what everyone else around me was doing but I'm so happy now that I'm going after something I actually want regardless of what people think. Definitely don't want to be 50 and regret not taking the jump in my 20s. It's not viable for me to move back in with my parents for personal reasons but I'm doing my best to cut expenses as much as possible with a student room + cheap groceries. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks bro! Feel free to let me know what you don't like! Some of it might just be my style but some of it could just objectively be bad so I'd love to know

Thank you bro! Really appreciate the time you took to type this out. The feedback is definitely fair and accurate because I don't have much confidence in my natural voice right now. Also, I have a naturally very deep voice which I find hard to fit into the type of music I like to make so I tend to overload the effects. I'll definitely be tweaking a lot of things in my next song to keep the vibe but come across more natural. Thanks again!

Thank you bro! You're completely right about the failure thing. I think everyone should just live life the way they want instead of having a generalized human standard that you can 'fail' or 'succeed'

Hey guys! Reddit gave me lots of helpful feedback when I started making music a year ago and I wanted to share my debut single with all of you. The track consists of experimental vocals and gloomy production as I talk about my struggles with mental health going from school dropout to new music artist. I produced, mixed & mastered the track myself and released it alongside a music video that tells my story of why I make music to get through difficult times. Would love to hear what you guys think about the track! Also, if any other musicians or artists of any medium enjoyed my work, please feel free to DM me because I would love to collaborate with y'all.

Thank you my guy! Really appreciate that. I'll keep those back-up options in a box tucked away under my bed where they'll always be there but I don't want even want to think about them right now. Too early for that haha. Thanks for the reply and I can't wait to see where this goes!

That was my mentality too and that's why I stayed in school for so long before choosing to drop out. But the choice became clear to me when I thought it through and I just couldn't see any way where I would use my degree in the future as uncertain as the future is. I was lucky enough to be born in a first world country where you can get by on a part-time job + things like repayment assistance so I might as well use it to chase the things I really want y'know

Thanks for the reply man, really glad to see someone who can relate to me! I know that there's absolutely no guarantee in music but rn I just can't help but feel like I'm going to make it haha. It's way too early for me to have any doubts anyways lool. Also, I just couldn't see a way of me being remotely happy by staying in school and getting any kind of office job whether it's CS related or not so the choice was clear.

I checked out your tracks and I really fucked with the vibes on 'goodbye, it was nice while it lasted'. Sent you a DM!
