The #Nashville #music scene, as far as I can tell, is far more business than fun. Which is a shame. Everyone talks about how they expect to grind for years and years to maybe become successful.
If you make music that someone (even just you) likes, you are a successful musician. Congrats! It's already more than most people will ever do. Enjoy that. Then do it again if you like. Find other people to do it with. Find people to share it with. Hit me up if you need a bass line.
