What does it take to be a successful musician? And what’s considered success in music?
In my opinion, based on my experiences it takes passion, hard work, endurance, thick skin and a good support system. As far as what’s considered success in music, I think it varies from musician to musician. To some people, it may be being able to make a living doing what they love. For others, it could be playing arenas and having their music played all over the world. For me, every positive step is success in my career. Or when someone says “hey your song really helped me get through a tough time”; that’s success to me.
What are your dreams in your musical career?
I have so many dreams in my career, but overall I just want to share my music with the world, touch hearts, make people happy and give hope.
Do you have a daily regimen in music learning?
Most days I try to create something whether it’s the worst song or the best song I’ve ever written. I’ve also taken voice lessons since I was 10, and I still do.
How has your music taste changed over the years?
When I was younger, I was just strictly into rock and metal. I mean that was all I would listen to. It was all I would write as well. But as I got older, I started to open my mind to other genres like hip hop, rap, pop and all kinds of other music. Now, I find myself incorporating elements of other genres in my music that I’ve been writing.
