Beginning The Music Business

 I am doing it!

I am doing something that I never thought would happen!

I am pushing myself to be the best that I can be in a creative venture.  I have the goals of working on producing and recording EDM music.  I want to write lyrics, produce music, and overall increase my reach on this crazy little thing called the internet. I know that this is a strange goal, especially for a 30 something year old who has never really stuck to anything.  I am finally working on some stuff that feels like it is a niche that I want to fill.  That being said this blog will become a dumping ground for poetry, album reviews, bits of music that I am working on/thinking about, and a look at my journey as I work towards this stupid dream.  So here we go, I want to share my goals with you all.  

Year One:

At the end of year one I will have 10 tracks available to stream on Soundcloud. I will have mastered my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), and I will have 10 followers on my SoundCloud.

Year Five:

I will have the ability to stream my songs on Spotify, apple music, and other sources.  I will have mastered the ukulele, learned the basics of DJing, and set myself up for a lasting success. 200 followers on Soundcloud.

Year Ten:

By the end of year ten I will have had at least one paid show under my belt, Have at least one track circulating by a major record label, Be making at least 5,000 a month in royalties, and have 1,000 followers on Soundcloud

Year 25:

After 25 years I will have retired from making music.  Be making around 10,000 per month in royalties from people still playing my music or sampling my creations, Run a successful music blog where I highlight what is coming out on the music scene.

This is the roadmap of my career.  I know that some of these goals are lofty but I do feel that I will be able to do anything here that I set my mind to.  I will be working hard over the next week trying to learn and master some of my songs.  

Keep an eye out here for some looks at songs and beats that I feel are influential to myself and that we want to share with the world.
