Where is your life ???

[BiggRome 2.0]

Do you do anything other than make music?

Do you have a woman that you spend quality time with?

Where are your chirren? (kids)

Do you have hundreds of FaceBook friends that you don't know... and refer to them as friends?

Does anybody come to visit you other than your brother or sister?

Do you spend hours on WSHH, This Is 50, and Media Takeout?

Are you clear headed in the evenings and not in a haze?

How long are you going to do what you're doing? (I know there are worse things...)

Did you know that other people are at football games, riding ferris wheels, laughing at restaurants, at the gym, swimming, double dating... and a whole buncha otha stuff...

discuss...

used to do stuff have a two year old so i'm kinda busy barely time for music. setup shows in tacoma every couple months but don't always play. kind of nice to get everyone setting up and go have a pint.

kids in daycare right now and the wife is at work.

lots of facebook friends but a lot of them are people i know who are into modular synths as well. some of them are friends who i have met IRL and would hang out with again if we weren't hundreds of miles away.

my mom comes over a lot more now due to the 2 year old her first grandson.

no idea what those websites are. i'm mostly on muffwiggler reading about synths and cruising its buy sell forum or just mucking around.

clear headed most of the time. need a new case for my modular so all my drinking money's saved and thats my only vice.

happy with my job making good money so its now a career.

life for me right now is mostly work and hanging out with the toddler. its easier to do some stuff now that he's older but honestly i have a pretty big back log on things around the house we didn't get to when he was younger. shit tons of yard work. maybe a leak in the roof :/ pretty much that and setting up Tacoma Noise Rodeo shows every two months or so. I should start planning the next one and get audio and pics from the last couple up on the net but i'm slacking.

[PeezyBeatz]

ha trying to graduate college at Ole Miss, and get the fuggggg outta Mississippi

 

[BiggRome 2.0]

Great answers!

Yeah, Peezy. Get out and see the world while you're young man. You never know what will happen. I'm from Virginia but live in Seattle. Met a lady here, got married, had chirren, bought a house, making bank... ish never crossed my mind in a million years.

Plus when you're young you're more social. So you get to meet more of the "locals".

A dude from FP told me that he and his cousin were taking a trip to get out of where they live and they were going to hit up Portland, Seattle and everything in between. He asked me what the area was like before they started out. I think he lives in Portland now or something. He said they had a blast on their "tour" of the different cities. He said he had to go back home for a minute to get everything together but he knew where he wanted to be.

I remember being 18 and just out there, lol. Didn't know ish but wasn't scared of much. I just kept my eyes and ears open and went with gut feelings most of the time. Twas fun and I would do it again. I treated it like a game of Survivor. Like if somebody blindfolded me and threw me out of an airplane and I landed somewhere and I had to survive and make my way around.

... people aren't as friendly now though...


P.S.: Don't live in a place because it's cheap, lol. You probably already know that. Fork out the extra dough to keep your spot from getting ran up in and you lose all of your ish. (or worse)


Great job on putting your kid as a priority Infra. Sock it to the dead beats Dads on FP, lol.

Sounds like you got everything under wraps Unfading Productions.

I "take refuge" in making music... that's what I'll call it (translation: I only do it when there's nothing else to do)

We have a children's museum here. That place is so much fun and so crazy sometimes. Always hilarious to watch the helicopter moms hovering over thier kids while I'm sitting back watching the toddler explore.

 

[Daunte Sky]

Last semester of college up in NY. Can't wait to graduate, had enough of the scam that is college. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get your feet off the ground I guess. Even if it means wasting thousands of dollars for 4 years adhering to societal standards to get a piece of paper that says I'm "qualified" to do something.....yeah, I think we know where I stand on the whole school thing. Lol.

Love the NBA & NFL. I'm studying sports management, so my dream is to work for an NBA or NFL franchise eventually. Preferably by 27 or 28 lol, I'm only 21 right now. I live in Upstate NY, but am originally from the Boston suburbs, so I do hope to get back to MA someday. I'm excited for the next few years of my life just to see where I wind up.

Created a Facebook like 3 years ago......have a few hundred "friends", only like 20 of which mean something to me lol. I log on like once a week now. Wish I never created it haha.

Yeah, I love music and would love to make a career in it.....but honestly, I dunno if the passion's there. I love the idea of people bumping my tunes, that's the main thing that gets me going, but sports is my first and main passion. If I could work in an NBA environment daily and make my life that way.....I think that's the only thing that would make me happier than a career in music.

There's my confessional lol.

if you aint makin music 24/7, you might as well take the BIGG-ROME ROUTE and have a family and become a hobbyist like the majority of fp.

 

[Xabiton]

I am 29 married with kids and I do music because I enjoy doing it. Whatever money I get from music is money I plan to put towards the family and it helps out but hell even if I had a #1 record on radio right now I would not quit my job. I like the consistent checks but when I am away from my music it makes me more excited to get involved with it again. I have spent the last year doing YouTube tutorials and reviews on music production and I really enjoy doing them as a hobby and will continue. Also play video games a bit and looking at getting back into the gym. Before I met my wife I was in there 3 nights a week and 5 years later it shows since the last time I went. Overall I am enjoying life. Life is too short not to and with the state of music especially hip hop music its too short to get too wrapped up into "trying to make it" so I instead just do me and get whatever side cash I get from it. I did work in radio for 4 or 5 years maybe I will get back into it.

What is the point of making music 24/7 if it ain't selling? Its more about networking and business than constantly making music.

I envy the childrens museum there. I live on the other side of town from Infra and if he is talking about the children's museum here that I think he is talking about its crap even in comparison.

 

[sonicboomxx3]

man im a ****ing loser to be honest.

i use to have so much passion about life, i was in college doing good... went crazy one day. stopped going to college. broke down in tears on the way home from college one day on public transit for nothing.

i was producing music and was enjoying the learning process of music and the theory and crap while going to school and living at home with mom.

ended up in a mental institution, to where the cops had to come and get me because of my behavior. got out and been bummy to the core.


i dont know what happened... things just not like they use to be for me... i feel very dull in the brain, like i cant do anything right or im not good enough.... i cant comprehend what i read and understand what ppl say sometimes


i dont have a girl, no friends, no kids, never wants to visit family, i tend to get nervous around family. sit in the house all day with no job and is on the computer all day... i've never had a job and im in my early 20s. i dont exercise ne more, i stuff my face all day.... thinking about success i could have reached.... thinking about how im gonna change but never do.... i look at other pplz success and get jealous.... like i can do that 20x better.... and i spend a lot of time looking at producers that i know i am better than that are making money in the game but i have no hustle like them... i wish i could become something next to them.... im always watchin other ppl get money n enjoy like but never try to do for myself

i watch scott storch play piano and im like i'd never be like that and i unstall my DAW and delete my sounds...etc lmao.... then the next day i install my software rofl.... its back n forth... lmao...... i really wanna change and get back in school n do music too....

my skills are pretty above average i would think.... but who cares



i see myself homeless soon though if i dont change.. my mind is ****ed up, but music is my pure passion.... been into music since my days of being in the school band.... 2012 was the worst of the worst for me.... 2013 im still in a bum mode... music is my only hope... i wanna get a job and buy me some music equipment because i destroyed some of my equipment that i bought off the government grant. i come from no father in the house and living in the projects... still on section 8 with mom....

everyone in my family that i grew up with is ahead of me. they have a family, jobs....etc

You're a hobbyist if your music isn't selling ... just like X said, lol. You can tell yourself whatever makes you feel better. You can say you're a hustler, grinding, etc... you really know what's up.

A career / job actually pays your bills. I do my job for 8 hours a day... rest of the day is mine. No 24/7 here.

Remember this...

Everything you are today is mostly because of you.

Mistakes and mishaps happen but if you don't have some crazy police record or medical condition that's keep you back... you need to get up off your ass.

You were in college... and phugged it up. smh. Not trying to be mean but you just strike me as being at a lazy stage in your life. Snap out of it because you're wasting valuable time.

... part of me thinks you're joking.

 

[YoungNReckless]

I'm in my senior year of high school (Thank GOD I dont have kids lol)
All i do is make beats and chill with my folk
dont use facebook just twitter and instagram
and for women...Im young and dumb what can I say?

 

[fataltone]

how can you make music 24/7
you must live at home with your parents or have tons of room-mates where bills aren't a worry
see I always had my own apt. since I was 19
kept the same great job for 12 years
now with a different organization
but the point is I had the money to invest in my craft
see if you go over to gearslutz
you have tons of weekend engineers they make good money on the side from being tracking,mixing,and producing

I need money coming in every two weeks, because why music money can get funny at anytime.
I don't put all my eggs in one basket
Yeah most ppl want to have kids and wife
yes some ppl don't but that can be lonely
when I come home from work I have two kids super hyped to see me and of my wife too
nothing like it
very,very blessed and it's a joyful life

this year I'm getting back to tracking artists
it's going to be a fun adventure doing music ministry at a a higher level than I doing now.

[JMD_Music]

Graduating college in May. Moving out to Cali when I finish to attend either CSUN or UCLA for music business. Plan on opening my independent label while in school with like $5,000 in startup money and doing everything the DIY way. Scared as hell that I won't be successful running my label, cause if I suck at running a label, I know I'll just end up going to school for another 5-6 years to get my masters and doctoral in psychology, working 9-5 and being miserable.
