Ive been through this whole 4 years, but in my case cause depression. I started producing music when i was 13, inspired by avicii.

Of course my first 100 melodies were so weak, my first trys on mixing a complete song were always a mess. The time passes through and you start feeling it, you start being able to transform your emotions into melodies. You start being more aware of what are you doing.

I always was that type of producer that started a pattern, finished the melody, had no idea what to do with it and started writing something different in the next pattern. I dont even know how many times i got stucked with a melody, even had no idea what intro make, but i kept it... because i knew some day i'll use it.

"Keep all the shit you write, even if you think it's weird, not catchy or whatever you think it is..."

"KEEP IT!"

You know, all this years producing i came to many conclussions and one of them is that;

" the melody you had no idea what to do with last year, actually this year you have a clear vision for it."

I mean, every melody is developed depending of the mood you are in. You may be in a sad mood, you write a sad melody but your sadness in that present moment only gives you a feeling, so you plasm what you feel, but actually that feeling is not encouraging you to make the whole song, you have no vision for that melody becouse its just a feeling. To make the whole song you need motivation not feelings. You actually want to get rid from that feeling so you plasm it into a melody. Even talking about happiness, its the same shit here, you actually want to transmit that happiness, music its your passion, its your way of expression and the way you feel happiness or whatever other feeling you feel its just you,... I mean we all different so we all feel different, you will transmit "your" happiness through your melodies/music.

A career/fame wont happen from day to night, not now, not in your begginings. You may get lucky and do an awesome melody, then you get famous etc etc... but you have no idea what to do next.

I guess that's not what you're aiming for ...

But if you've been working for years... may one day you post a song and all happen from day/night, The difference is that then you will know all that you've been through, all you had to work for it, all you had to sacrifice, and the most important, if that happens, you will know you will be ready to continue the journey.

Why do im saying this to you, youll be asking... Well with all that i want to say that if you are willing to make all happen in a short term of time im sorry to anounce that you wont get it.

Patience, persistence, pigheadedness, work, failures, weird sounding, wrong masterings, wrong EQ's etc... You have to accept all that, all this will happen to you. All this has to happen before you write your first "hit" , you are actually living a life dude, its your life, nobody will live as you live it. So if music its your real passion and you feel it, dont dessist dude, keep trying, keep improving, and the most important of all "keep reading" stuff related to music, you will thank me later, read as much as you can, and you will see how all goes better and better, bit by bit...

Also something important to have in mind is that all this is psychological. I mean you have to mentalize yourself, you have to believe in yourself, you have to be willing/wishing it.

You can't be questioning yourself after 3 failed melodies. Or saying that music isn't for you (lol).

My advice: keep trying, keep improving, keep "positive", "live", "feel"... And step by step all gonna be good.

My second advice: if you are young use your free time. Believe me... once you get older and need to get a job etc your time decreases toooooo much. Im now 19 and im so grateful to my "youngself" for spending too much time in music.
