Competition Composition

Some Ideas on competition.

 

I’m competitive. its a weakness most of the time. I grew up playing tons of sports and I had two sisters that made me fight for my parent attention. As I have grown Its become about writing and performing. I have a lot of friends and buddies that are seeking the same goal as myself; to write perform and share music on as big of a scale as we can get. And Like I said, i usually think this not a good attribute for me to have and that a nice piece of “humble pie” would really help me out but today I realized something…

 

Im curently in the mist of doing some recording. A mate let me borrow some recording equipment and currently I’m just recording songs that I have not yet put down. Experimenting with other instruments and trying to grow as a “composer and arranger.” I don’t know what will come of these recordings… I’m sure a few of them will make it up on to the web.

Any who… as I am writing and doing some recording I’m finding that my competitive nature is helping push the envelope wide open. I am pushing my brain so hard that creativity is just bleeding out and it’s nice. I dont feel like im trying to be better than everyone I feel like Im just trying to show that I am capable of hanging at this level. That I can write too. So maybe its not competition as much as its acceptance  but I know that I am learning and maturing as a 22YO singer/songwriter. and I should be decent by 30.
