Hey guys.. I'm a 16yo male from London, UK. I've been writing since I was ~ 13, improving lyrics, flow and other needed skills. I want to start recording, but I still get nervous about spitting near people. My lyrics and flow are complimented often by friends and acquaintances when going in on a mainstream chart songs...
Anyway, my dad is some-what middle-upper class (don't live with him. Talk often) and my mum(who I live with) is supportive with everything that I do., but once told me "music isn't for everyone" when I mentioned joining the industry aged ~ 9. This probably wasn't personal.
However, I can't bring it to mention I wanna buy a mic and start spitting my writtens.. I guess It's because I still don't have the confidence to rap loudly. Well, loud enough that she hears me in the next room. I only rap loudly (properly) when she's out.
I'm sure someone here had/has a similar issue. Also, my dad still doesn't know I listen to rap. I think he would disagree with my music tastes. I know this is what I want to do, and they can't change my mind.
Thanks for reading this all...

UPDATE: This shouldn't matter, but I'm white. Thought I'd mention it.
