Make music. I record and produce my own music in my home studio. I sometimes don’t realize I’ve been in there for hours until I need to pee.

Playing music (jamming or performing) together. Nothing beats getting into a groove with fellow musicians.

I’m using OneRPM at the moment. Other than the sometimes frustrating approval process, they have been ok. It’s free with the 30% cut. I don’t get enough streams to earn a significant amount so it made the most sense to me vs using a paid distributor.

I never did lol. I play by ear to this day. It does make it difficult to play songs on the fly, especially when on stints as a session musician where I have to learn an entire set list of songs quickly. But for my own original work, it hasn’t really hindered me.

And here I am struggling and fighting with my distributor ever time I upload a new instrumental album because they can’t confirm that it’s all original work.

I’m a musician and I listen to rock, prog, jazz fusion, r&b, kpop, EDM, and film scores just to name a few.

Not only do I listen to a wide range of genres, I play and make music with the same range as well. I allows me to easily fit into different bands without issues. I’ve played with prog rock bands, casino show bands, rappers, metal bands, etc.

My music, and hopefully by as many people as possible.

I’d obviously take the money too, but as a musician, it would be so hard for me to give up the rights to my music. Then again, she likely didn’t write and produce her music so she probably doesn’t feel the same as someone who made their music themselves.

I have around 30 songs on Spotify. They should pay me $4.5M.

I make music and release them on streaming. I’m most proficient on keys, then guitars and drums next equally. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert simply because I never had formal lessons and I’m self-taught. But I would say I’m above the average player.

I also learned ukelele, bandurria, and flute growing up.

I make music and one of my goals is to get a song picked up by the shorts/tiktok algorithm so the streams grow exponentially. lol

Not mine, because I’m not famous enough for people to pirate my music lol. It would be flattering for me to be included in this batch of scraped music.

This means my music will be available to torrent. I feel honored! Makes me feel like my music is worthy enough to be pirated. lmao

I dunno why but recently I noticed I haven’t been passive listening to music. I used to have headphones while I work and music when I’m driving. Lately I’ve been driving in silence and working without headphones.

Probably because I make music on my off days and my ears get tired?

It’s both art and content for me. I listen to a very wide range of genres; from metal to jazz, EDM, prog, industrial, film scores, kpop, and more. Streaming platforms have a hard time profiling me just based on the stuff I listen to.

I’m also a musican, so it’s my “art” as well, because I create it to express myself. It’s been a huge part of my entire life.

I was able to get an 8-string headless guitar at close to half the price. Then recouped a little more by selling my current guitar. So all in all I “spent” 1/3 of the original price. One of best bang-for-buck deals I’ve gotten in a while.
