I’ve been playing music professionally for about 6 years now, and have been musical in some way for as long as I can remember. Your experiences with music mirror my own (and you actually reminded me that good lyrics and a nice chord progression isn’t enough, my songs need to have something that sets them apart.) I released my first single a few months ago, and am working on an acoustic ep to release inbetween my next single. I’m glad playing music has helped you enjoy it more, and I hope your band does well!
