I was listening back to my recent album release and part of me
started recalling the "stress" of production -- adjusting all the
levels, recording tracks etc etc etc.. all this at my own house, own
effort. How did I power through? Passion and love for music.
Then I asked myself why would I wanna stress myself out when I don't get money out of it or 1million streams within a month...
It's
passion. It's love for music. Doing music somehow gave me purpose and
joy. Like I found meaning in it, even though I don't reap a lot of
rewards out of it.
All these thoughts honestly
hit me. I know someday things may change, but whatever happens, I hope I
don't lose this passion and joy which captured me since I was a kid.
