Well, as far as my career is concerned, I'm a disgruntled entertainment/music industry employee. My real expertise is in music, which I've studied for half my life. I went to college and got my degree in music, but also had an option in Music Business. Personally, I chose it as sort of a back-up plan and thought it might be really great for me, but I've since discovered that being an artist and the business of art can be two very different things. Now it is just more of a way for me to meet the right kind of people and get my foot in the right doors. Thankfully, I'm pretty good at whatever job I take, so that helps out a lot too.
I've played guitar for half my life, both classical and contemporary. I extensively studied music theory in college and worked alongside some really great guitar teachers. I'm certainly not a prodigy, but I've worked pretty damn hard and I think I'm pretty fucking decent at it. My real dream would have been to study composition and even go get my Masters, but unfortunately that wasn't in the cards for me. Now I just spend my life figuring out how to make a career out of it!
