I’m a self-taught songwriter.

My next tune is already in the jar…just gotta record it with my brother. It’s very catchy and I’m hoping to get some traction from it. :slight_smile:

I’m a privately taught pianist and composer who has been studying piano performance for 14 years, and composition from the years 2008 to 2016. In this time, I produced three Easy Listening piano CD’s to critical recognition by YouTube.com in 2012.

In 2016, I quit composing indefinitely in order to concentrate on practicing my performance skills on the digital piano. This decision has, so far, been fruitful for me.

My dream is to become so practiced, skilled and confident on the piano that I can easily put on live, informal, and impromptu performances at local nursing homes, and group homes in my home town.

I used to have really strong passion to be a musician when I was younger. As time has gone on the less will I have for it and the more I can see there are big areas of my skillset that need to be signifcantly improved for it to ever work even as a just for fun thing.

I was in a couple of bands in the last few years and I find its a lot less to worry about being in a group but I also felt like my own compositions were disgarded too often.

I used to be in a band a long time ago. Sometimes we played at local pubs and other venues. It was a fun experience, but it is also stressfull to be a entertainer full time. If you are a professional you have to be totally focused and hardly have room for slipping up. Also if you get a breakthrough people will know who you are and your private life slowly dissipates the more known you get. I understand why a lot of artists, especially in the music arena have drug abuse problems.

I don’t want to be popular and not having a private life like artists (singers, actors, etc).

I would love to have the skill to paint with watercolour in a very realistic yet not realistic at the same time way. A unique style that looks very amazing.

I have painted from time to time but if I were to improve in my style that would be amazing.

I’m an artist every day with a camera so I get to live that dream. Combination of school and ongoing self-teaching.

I want to be a world famous entertainer but I don’t want to do any of the work it takes to be one.
Oh yeah, and I have no discernible talent.

I’d love to be an artist. I used to be good at drawing when I was younger. Then my focus shifted to guitar. I’ve been in a few bands and had a lot of fun. Nothing full time though. I dream of living on the road. Being in a different place frequently. I feel like I was made to travel. Ah, dreams.

I’m studying ventriloquism now. I have a wrap around monkey that is named Perv the Primate. Perv is short for Pervaldi.

I’m a self taught artist. I do watercolors and am learning oil paints. I do abstract stuff. I’m thinking of changing my expression from the darkness within me to how the experience of it has transformed into beauty. It seems every time I try to express darkness it winds up becoming colorful and happy. Like me hehe. I tried to show the world the darkness of itself, but it seems when I’m done with a piece all I have is a portrait of vibrant faith. My art really reflects me.

Only top performer. $Million a gig. But they all started eating stale pizzas.

I have been an artist since I was a kid. I paint a lot now. I enjoyed printmaking for a long time. I had a few exhibitions at different galleries but it was too much for me. I always hid during the receptions because of all the people and their thoughts
