I’m going naked. These video blogs are happening. As in I’m making them. They’re all the rage maybe? I don’t care. I’ve convinced myself that it’s what I need to do.
The Help is done at least for now and that means it’s time do what I’ve been wanting to do for about 5 years now, which is to transcend being a bassist and to expand my identity to higher levels of musicianship.
I’ve been writing my own songs for a while, but making that ultimate leap just…never happened. It’s the attitude. I don’t have it yet. The challenge of being able to truly believe it when you say the words “I am a songwriter and these are my songs” is by no means an easy one.
So the video blogs begin! I’ve decided to do them and I’ve decided to document my progress in my writing, my musicianship and my job as candidly as I can. I’ve realized that I keep telling myself I will share my music when it’s finally ready, but that never happens and maybe never will. If it goes well, it brings attention and energy to each of these work streams in my life. So, here it is.
Whether or not this is actually for sincere, artistic reasons or some sick inner exhibitionist motive remains to be seen. Until we figure that out, be nice to me, Internet.
