AK Chronicles v2.0
Word, so life has completely changed since me and my job parted ways. After the initial "I'm Free... Actually Free!! Never Going Back, Suckas!!" parade came to an end, I had some difficult realities that I had to face. Besides the obvious financial uncertainty, I was forced to look at my music career as my sole business and means for survival. Many sleepless nites, and irritable days followed with seemingly no justifiable cause. And then, it hit me... I had to ask myself one question:
Am I happy with where my music career is at this point in my life?
The answer was a resounding, NO. So what now?
It's funny how everything you'd ever need is usually right in front of your face. For quite a while now I've had the opportunity to go work as an engineer, at the biggest, most notably successfull studio in Philly (for no compensation of course). It's like music industry bootcamp. 12-17 hour days (mostly nights), 3 artists a day, 5 songs a day....pwhew! but everyday I get to learn from the hottest producer in the city, and listen in on meetings between the producers and management team of the most successful hip hop band in the world (hint). It's all so familiar, yet so foreign.
I must have been in The Studio thousands, literally hundreds of times before, but never like this. For the first time, I am the "button pusher"...the participant observer of the producer making the music, the recorder of the artist singing their songs. I honestly don't think that the people I work with everyday have any idea that I make music, and do my thing, nor do they particularly give a shit. This is the Big pool, and I wana be a Big Fish! But for now, I'll be the "record it again" guy. But know that my time is coming... Tick Tock.
