Ok ok :) Sounds you are already at a good place. Always nice to get some good feedback from those you respect and this indeed may lead to 'wanting' more. Regarding becoming big: There is a difference between becoming big, or for instance, a wish to perform from time to time. In the electonic music business I came across quite a few DJs/artists who don't think big, but are comfortable when they can play at a friends party. Private, but also public events. Maybe playing in a side room, or being the opening DJ, or closing when this is way into the next day and no big names are required anymore for the last die hards on the dance floor. In any kinda of music you have this. Anyways. Sticking to music creation is also good. You can think of ghost producing for others. More and more artists, use ghost producers for their music. Doing this for the right artists, can make considerable money. At the same time, it'll also become a job with deadlines and all :) Another way of monetising could be to teach those who want to be taught and oay for it. A 'job' that is maybe lesser a job than ghost producing, with more freedom and felxibility therefore easier to fit into your schedule. The whole think with Spotify is, one needs to get the tracks onto popular playlist to get some solid stream counts. Looking forward what you're gonna scribble down about the paths you are exploring.
Interesting...deffo some food for thought there 👍
