Any music makers in here? Just curious.
๐บ
In the last couple of years I've been learning drums. Have had a few jams with a mate on guitar. Does that count? Tell me I'm an ARTIST!
if you do stuff you're an artist
but being an artist who is famous and earns a good living, that's something different again
some people want to be famous, some just want to do their stuff and maybe make themselves and other people happy and that's enough
It absolutely counts! Electric kit or acoustic?
I started on electric, but kinda hated it, so recently splurged on an acoustic kit, which I love!
Can I ask what genre of music you make? Where do you get your inspiration from? Favourite bands?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply ๐
I listen to everything from Ben Harper and Jeff Buckley, to nine inch nails and Deftones.
My inspiration mainly comes from my past and my day to day life. I find it I'm being a hermit then I lack inspiration. I need experiences to push my creative buttons.
These days I mainly make acoustic singer songwriter stuff, play in a punk band, and also make my own "Egyptian industrial" weird thing lol
How about yourself?
We play all those on a Friday.
I like anything a little bit different. Talking Heads, Supertramp, T rex, George Thorogood, Paul Simon, RHCP, Jack Johnson. So many to name. Mainly stuff with a good bass.
I don't know if you know who Natacha Atlas is but you might like her. She's an Egyptian-Belgian who we sometimes play.
