I'd always had musical ideas floating around in my head, and always had that desire to make music. Now I'm in a sort of a co-dependent relationship with production and DJing and can't imagine not having them in my life, as time and money consuming and frustrating as they can be sometimes. It's just what I've always wanted to do and the more energy I put towards getting better at it the more I feel like I'm doing the "right thing". At times music listening, playing and making has been a simple pleasure, a pastime, an escape, a soundtrack to my life, a creative outlet and no doubt other things too.
Argh I sound like such a loser/one of these annoying "music is my life!!!" people saying that but that's how I feel. If someone told me I had to quit doing the job I do for a living forever I'd get over it and get on with my life, I can't imagine not doing music though.
