I don't see myself as an independent artist. The music industry has changed so much, and independent music is not what it used to be. It’s so easy to release your music on your own. Does this make you an independent artist? I don’t think it’s as simple as that.
I first started recording music crudely in 1997 on a Tascam 4 track. Through the years I have purchased more equipment, and got slightly better at the process. I now use computers and DAW’s, but ultimately I still make music in my bedroom. I can call it a studio all I like, but that doesn’t make it true. Music is a hobby to me, one that I take very seriously, but it doesn’t pay the bills, and the brutal reality of it is, it never will. I have had work released on an independent label, but I still consider myself an amateur musician. I have a job to support my family, for which I’m very grateful.
