A lot of artists say they want to be "successful", but when you ask what that actually means, most haven’t defined it. If you don’t define success, you default to chasing something vague like becoming a millionaire, which (let’s get in touch with reality) happens for maybe 0.5% of artists, if that.

From day one, I set specific, realistic goals for myself: Release music on CD ✅ Put it on cassette ✅ Press it to vinyl ✅ (double LP coming soon) Get featured in a video game ✅ Land a movie placement (chasing that one) Monetize my YouTube ✅ Earn a silver YouTube trophy (still ahead)

Today, after a 3yr grind, I finally checked off that YouTube monetization goal and my entire channel is monetized. Every watch matters. Every listen counts. I’m grateful to everyone who helped me hit that milestone and my personal drive.
