Being an entertainer, or shall I say the beginning stages of being one; whether its music, comedy, acting, etc, is in my opinion the most difficult profession there is. Not only do you have to worry about perfecting your craft, you have to deal with the haters, the con-artist, the phonies, the backstabbers, the moochers, people constantly trying to change you, and being rejected about million times before getting that big break. Through out all of this, we (beginning entertainers), usually have to work a regular 9-5, just to keep a roof over our/family heads, and food in our homes; while still being mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, wife's, husbands boyfriends, girlfriends, whatever. And what's sad, and hurts the most is that, in many situations the only support we have is ourselves, because individuals (usually the ones close to us), find that our dreams of being entertainers is not a profession at all, but is only just a pipe-dream. What keeps me going, or what I think keeps us (beginning entertainers) going, is our passion. Everyday I wake up, no matter what happened the day before, I sing. I could have had the most horrible performance there was the night before, but something in me yearn for music. I never want to give it up, even with all these obstacles. I could have been a lot of other things, and believe me I've tried some other things, and yet I'm here again, back where I started (singing and song writing). I finally realized that I'm addicted to music, like a crack head on crack. We all have our addictions, some good, some bad, and music is mine and I m not ashamed; I gotta write it, I gotta sing it, I gotta hear it, and if I don't get a hit of it, another side of me comes out. I've said a million times that I would never sang again. Anything that could gone wrong, any embarrassing moment that you can think of happening during a performance has happened to me, and yet like I said, I'm here again!!!! I know in my heart that my music has the possibility of not being successful, or failing miserably, but I would rather live with that, and say I gave it and effort, then to be old and grey living with the regret of not attempting to live my dream. Music lifts my sprits daily, and with out it Im empty. And so I end this by saying, no matter who you are, no matter what your dreams are, if you wake up every morning, and you cant get that one thing out of your head, or you feel like it keeps calling you like Pookie in new jack city, get that hit; you may never know the outcome, but will never live regret of not perusing it. That's just my opinion.
