I think some aspiring musicians think doing pub gigs, teaching, doing weddings etc represents “giving up” on the big dreams. But, in fact this type of “musician-for-hire” work can perfectly position you to pursue the big dream! Self-employed musician work allows you the flexibility to pursue your goals. When an opportunity presents itself you don’t want to turn it down because you’ve already used up your annual leave! And not to mention the other big benefit which is that you get to spend your paid working hours developing your skills as a musicians, rather than grinding away at some job you hate. 😊

I am 69 now but when I was in my 20s,30, and 40s I supported myself playing music for a living. That was a time when club bands could play the same gig for at least two weeks and if you worked hard finding gigs you could work steadily. I think those days are over now. Most bands in Florida are playing one or two nights then packing up and playing several places weekly. Pay also sucks for musicians and a lot of clubs have jam nights where people play for free. Live music down here draws a bunch of old folks like me and that's about it and bands play early hours and are done by 11PM. Bands can't even sell CDs from the stage for extra money anymore.

Agreed. In the ‘80s/ ‘90s I was with a full time East Coast band (Great Train Robbery) and carved out a decent living with them for 8 years. Then DJs and house music came along and wiped out tons of live rooms that were on our regular rotation. Nowadays I work warehouse and just write & record on those rare occasions when I can keep my eyes open.

Thanks for the interesting video I've been making music all my life, with a few interruptions. I never made any money from it and never managed to become famous and maybe get a contract. I worked many jobs, never had much money, starved and froze, and even slept on the street for a while. But I never lost my inner creativity to make music. Today I'm 70 years old and can live quite well on the money I get now. You have to have a deep passion to overcome all difficulties and follow your passion. Today I make my music in a very relaxed way. I don't need to follow Trent and do my thing. I make the music for myself, if others like it that's great, if not, it's nothing to worry about

It was the opposite for me. When I worked full time, I was practicing 4 hours a day. After that I've been working part-time only 20 hours a day, came to live above my parents, etc. I got extremely depressed and even tho I did 650 shows as a sound guy, I felt completely stuck. Now that I'm seeking full-time employment seriously again, I feel like I can finally take control of my life back. Forget the idea that having as much time for yourself as you can is the only way to be an artist. When you're not being able to pay the bills or the rent and still sometimes starve, let me tell you : you are not going to be a productive artist.

Hi Mary, i have been playing guitar since i was 15, not telling you how old i am now, lol... i work 45 hours a week doing a mundane job that i feel wasted in but it pays the rent and puts food on the table, i am fortunate to have a little humble set-up at home where i can write, record and mix music, i also like to keep fit, gym 3 times a week, however i was helping someone move a massive jaccuzi and felt something snap in my arm, my bicep bunched up at the top of my arm, oh no......anyway 12 weeks of no playing, no using, even washing was a chore, i had surgery to have my tendon re-attached to the bone, about 15 weeks off work, you don't want to know how bad statutory sick pay is, just being able to play again was so wonderful for me, getting better and on the repair now. phew! what a drama, lol..... have a great day, all the best.

Be a good hang is important in any field, let alone music. Networking is often seen as teeth-pulling and painful, but approaching it with the goal of being a good hang and interesting and making some impression goes a long way. People like to be around people they like... so be likable first. The relationship can grow from there, or maybe it never will, but leaving behind a string of people in your industry who like you will pay massive dividends down the road. I bought a copy of your album for my niece who you remind me of... I can't wait to listen to it with her!

I was in selling or sales training for a lot of my life while also making music. One of the most interesting comments I heard from someone I knew was, "I like Andy - he never tries to sell me stuff!" Interestingly he was one of my best customers. It is a truism in sales that "people buy from people they like" and it carries through into life in general. If people like you they are much more willing to go along with you - buying your merchandise, supporting you at gigs, helping you in your career etc. Come across as needy or demanding or as a user and you will be struggling.

Yes,yes yes! So much yes to this advice. Thank you for sharing! I also did IT work for many years, music always being a side thing, or a hobby, or even forgotten completely. I was inspired 2 years ago to start writing and recording music again, and so I did. I used the process of learning songs and posting covers to youtube, and just being consistent, to push me to pick up my guitar everyday. I finally made the same big choice as you and quit the IT job I had back in July of this year. Soon after I took a much more part time job, but doing live sound at a local venue. I am now meeting musicians constantly and quickly building a good reputation for myself. I have now joined a band playing acoustic guitar and running sound for them. It's still not easy, its always a struggle. Motivation is still always hard to come by, but I am genuinely happy and fulfilled in ways I have not been in many years. If you have the means and the passion, do it! Give it all to your passion and make incredible art. =)

So much harder now than before. My band used to make 1K a night to play at good gigs, $250 for small gigs. If you played two or three times a week you could actually live as a musician. So many hoops to go through just to get noticed, forget about paying your bills! The only difference is that getting on social media can get you to the entire world, not just regionally. Mary is a good example if you have lots of skills, but she is not the norm.

Love this advice Mary! ♥ I quit my full-time career and have a casual job (lecturing) which helps with bills, though I am now earning about $100/month from Spotify! 😅 I think songwriting deserves a mention too - I put that at the core of everything I do. I've been amazed by the difference between my most successful song releases and the also-rans. People, follow, comment, add it to their playlists, listen on repeat, make tiktoks, do covers - it's insane and very noticeable when you have a song that connects. I've probably written a couple of hundred songs, released over 30 and had 2 or 3 do really well. SO writing a lot of songs (increase your odds of writing a song with that secret sauce) and getting good at your craft is super important!

I studied photography as a (not so) mature student. I already had a son and a mortgage when I was at college, and a second son by the time I finished my degree. My saddest realisation was I would never be able to make it as a professional photographer as the route to a client base essentially meant working for free for several years. The kit was extremely expensive and the industry cut throat. The degree did end up getting me a career, but not as a photographer. I don’t even do it as a hobby any more due to how much digital editing costs.

A lot of the points you make like needing to be able to sell yourself and being a good hang raise an important issue which is that, when it comes to choosing whether or not to pursue music as a career, talent, dedication, and even hard work are far from everything and there are other non-musical qualities that are equally important. Someone who is very introverted and/or doesn't have people skills and entrepreneurial skills should think twice about doing it. Music is a people-centered profession first and foremost. Being able to do very complex harmonic analysis or play scales well is not what will move your career forward.

At 61 years old, I have just released my 1st song on Spotify, am I too old to start a new career as an independent musician 🤔

From personal experience, you'll need a side gig for the first 3 years of grinding at least. Becoming a full time musician is very doable but it's not something you can do casually or unplanned. Its as simple as opening a hotdog stand. The issue is, you're the hotdog so you really need to be topnotch. Best of luck in 2024.
