RE: An interview: How to become a songwriter!

in #life7 years ago

Some good insight into your life and what it means to make a living in music. I was married to a producer/engineer for 12 years and was amazed at how successful he is in terms of the huge name bands he works with and yet what a precarious and not necessarily prosperous economics. The music and art worlds are very similar in this way. Yes different language and sorts of venues/streams of income, but the economics are the same because society needs our work and relies on it heavily but without the awareness of it. Western culture doesn't really understand how to value creativity enough to pay for it fully. I agree though that the rewards of creativity and being one's own boss are amazing and for me have always outweighed everything else! Cheers to doing great work

Sort:  

Music is an "Insiders Game" where they require that you actually "Sell Your Soul" for the riches you deserve. Or, they just steal your music and with all the Government at their beck & call, good luck winning that case in court, if it even get that far.

eh

My bad. that is actually "insiders knowledge" & experience. look it up for yourself if you wish. type in "blood Sacrifices & music business" you'll see, if you wish to see.
