I don’t know where to take my music…
Hello everyone. I’m going to keep myself anonymous, but I don’t know where to take my music. I’m surrounded by a lot of musicians and while I don’t compare myself to them anymore. I hang around them, everyone seems to have a really nice way of promoting themselves. I seem to be very underdeveloped, I’m working on my rap voice, I’ve been rapping since 15, but I think I wanna go in a melodic direction. I also produce.
I’ve been working on studying commercial music and I’ve been tryna work on my hooks, and my beats more. I’ve been listening to a bunch of old Ye, and Zara Larson, and 50cent. to just get an idea of things. I never took choir, so I just sing-off sometimes. I’m also just trying to develop my metaphors. It’s a lot, I guess i should work on the music first, but I have a hard time networking. I live in VA, I’m tryna move back to Illinois to make it work. No one is in Virginia, and my friends in IL, are filming, making music and such.
My problem is I’m overly ambitious but very monotone, I’m really shy about and am while I’m making records, I always think to myself “Wow, I am very monotone.” But when i scream and try my best, I still sound flat. Sometimes I find myself thinking, I should’ve took choir or play an instrument. I think I’ll always make beats no matter what. It’s like I’m an A&R trying to teach myself how to make radio hits or something. Lol. How can I manage my music better and develop myself?
