WOOD SHEDDING
When fans see their favorite Artist on stage, and see how flawless things appear; they truly have no idea how much work went into the show behind the scenes. In all appearance it looks easy. Most people think musicians are lazy, stay up all night, and sleep all day. Ok, part of that is true, but not the lazy part. The hours put in to become a true professional are unbelievable. In order to succeed in this business you must have a passion and drive that is relentless.
Talent will only take you so far; hard work will get you the rest of the way.
There is a misconception that the music business is all fun and Glamor. I have a term I use called Glamoritis. This means you are blinded by the lights, fame and money and can't see the reality. I take no hostages, this business can be a lots of fun if you have the passion. However if you're not having fun and it's stressful most of the time, you're probably in the wrong business. There are those people who are lazy that enter into this world. They don't last long, and have to live with what could have been for the rest of their lives. Don't let that happen to you.
All I'm saying is, if you don't have the passion, and you are not willing to do the work; save yourself lots of pain and disappointment and keep your day job. I am not trying to discourage anyone, I'm just pointing out the reality. Don't let the glamor blind you, get to work.
