John’s Answer

Hi Abigail!
I'm an independent musician (piano / keyboards), producer, and audio engineer. The things I like most about being in music are:
Working with other music professionals on a project that comes out well. My last album had 49 creative contributors from 18 countries, and I loved auditioning and working with every one of them.
The personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment when completing a project I feel good about. I love songwriting, arranging, recording, editing, mixing, mastering, and developing art and credit packages for distribution. Even though there are many steps to each of those aspects, I love it when everything comes together.
Learning something new. It's great when I'm able to grow my abilities and proficiency with every project. I also watch and listen to other talented professionals in the business and their stories, methods, and techniques.
Getting that feedback from my listeners. It's always wonderful to hear when someone enjoyed one of my songs, but I'm also happy to get constructive criticism so I can improve over time.

Good luck on your musical journey - and never give up on what brings you joy!

Joseph Gelvin’s Answer

I work as an Independent Music Producer and also do freelance work as a mixing and mastering engineer. In my free time, I love producing music that resonates with me and playing guitar in a band just for fun. We do gigs, meet fellow musicians, and it’s such a rewarding way to express my creativity and connect with people while staying true to who I am. Plus, I enjoy deep conversations about life and art with others in the music scene.

What I love most about my career is the chance to collaborate with creative, like-minded people who are passionate about growing and pushing their craft. Whether it's music, podcasts, film, or TV, helping others develop their content and elevate it to a professional level brings me so much fulfillment. Using my skills in service of others is a lifelong passion for me.

I truly believe that everyone is a creator at heart. It's an innate part of us, and all it takes is a little spark of creativity and the desire to make something meaningful.

Dylan’s Answer

I am an independent cello teacher and a former marching band instructor. My favorite aspect of teaching music is seeing the joy in each student as they develop their skills and learn new songs. Truly, there is no similar feeling. Additionally, teaching, even in the fine arts, is an evergreen job. There will always be new students and a need for well- rounded, passionate educators to guide them.

Napinder’s Answer

It's simple - "Passion". Be it in any career, without passion, it's just another job. If you think, eat and breath music; then yes! it's certainly for you. Irrespective of how competetive it is. The greatest reward for a performer is to enjoy an appreciation of the audience, for a music producer to make the beats, and for an audio engineer to get the best equalizing results from the green room.
