So you didn't get a record deal...

Everyone has always told you that you sound better than those people on the radio. Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. Music is subjective, and good is in the ears of the be-hearer and you only need to make the music that thrills your soul and find people who want to listen and support your music.

Determine how you want to make music.
1. Do you only want to make music if you are a superstar, with fame your main goal?
2. Do you want to make enough money making the music you love, to pay your bills and call yourself a career musician?
3. Would you make music, write songs, and sing no matter the cost? When the refrigerator light hits you, do you pretend it's a spotlight and break into song?

Once you realize who you are and the type music you want to make, then an only then can you focus on the next level.
