Musician
I write and perform my original music.
There isn't really a typical day. If I'm in the process of writing, I spend a lot of time in my home studio putting together beats and melodies. If I'm recording an album, I'm in a professional studio for 10-12 hours straight with the producer and my band getting all the parts just right. When I'm on the road, we often have to drive to the next town during the day, load in, sound check, chill for a bit, then get on stage and perform. It can get hectic but I can't see myself doing anything else!
Here's the first step for everyone
While there is no set path for this career, I'd recommend reading about mine and seeing if it applies. There are several ways to enter this field. I think the future is bright for anyone who wants a career as a musician. It used to be that the equipment was so expensive that only record companies had it. Now, it's become much more affordable. You can get affordable gear and make a really great record. It's also so easy to share links to your work, have your friends share it, and gain followers.
