Being creative is one of the most rewarding parts about being a musician. There are others, like getting paid to travel to different cities and countries.
I love what I do for a living, although being a professional musician definitely ain’t easy. There can be a lot more downs than ups.
I feel that when the creative juices are flowing, it’s one of the best feelings in the world. The next best thing is watching people react to the music I’ve created with other musicians.
Why I ever chose to be a banker, insurance salesman or get a degree in business in the past still baffles me. I was born a musician and will always be one. I might not play drums for a living forever (I have new passions I’m pursuing), but it is a major part of who I am.
I love music!
