Anyone making a career as a musician?[views:6762][posts:24]__________________________________________________ [Feb 20,2010 10:26am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] For a year now I've been trying to locate musicians who are making a living solely from their music. Anyone here either in that position or know someone in that position? Can you share your stories? Thanks. |

Can you elaborate about how you're doing it? email thefutureiswideshut(at)gmail.com if you like / don't want to post here. It's very helpful, thanks. |
