Hobby, Passion, Career?
Howdy music makers! Today I would like to discuss the varying degrees of commitment for artists out there in the not-quite-famous realm of music. Many of my posts are for those who are making music a second career or want it to be much more than a hobby. I’m sure there are many out there though who may struggle to relate to those articles because music is important to them, but they don’t see a need for monetizing it or being deliberate in marketing or building a fan base. And that’s okay! So let’s talk a bit about that shall we? Do you record but just for fun? Do you create EDM or remix music but don’t post anywhere or very few places? Do you write an occasional ditty on the guitar and made a rough demo or two but didn’t take it much further? Have you created a song and casually put it out on Bandcamp not expecting anything to come from it? This is sounding like a hobby to me. You aren’t expecting radio play, not seeking sales, and you may or may not be interested in serious feedbac
