Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Wasn't a great student, a very poor reader.
Traded in my trumpet for a guitar, where I taught myself how to play.
Started playing an instrument to help out with dyslexia.
Having a wonderful and supportive family.
Accepted to college and graduated.
Then I became free from outside influences and began writing music for myself, a healing experience.

Day to Day
Begin the day with a fresh cup of coffee, maybe a jog and share a laugh with my family. Continue working on that new song, there's always a new song. Transition to business mode and reach out to contacts for gigs, specialty radio interviews and licensing possibilities. Design a new show poster for an upcoming fall mini-tour. Pick up the guitar again and continue working on that new song. Back to family time as the life you live and love you share will make for better art and real connections.
Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for college students
Work a day job and maintain a sense of responsibility. Becoming self-sufficient will create an appetite for something greater and strengthen you as an individual. Continue to be a fan of other musicians, be supportive of others and enjoy their experiences. Be open and try new approaches to your craft. Maybe set a schedule to practice or just spend time with people you love, because inspiration is always in front of you just waiting to be tapped.
