Some things you need to know about my music

Hi! You probably came here because you saw my post on Bandcamp, if that is so, welcome. I don't know if people actually like to read long posts or something but I felt like I needed to tell you some things, or at least clarify some things around my music.

Yesterday I made a post on my Bandcamp blog where a fan replied this: 

And I replied to my own post with what you can see. This is the follow up to that reply. Before we get started, thank you, lo_fan for replying and letting me know what you think about my music, that makes me incredibly happy.

All the songs that you're listening and that are now on my Bandcamp up until this day, are old songs I made a long time ago, actually, I started making music around 2016~2017 when I was about 16 years old (that's the reason some of my first songs suck so bad). The reason I published again is because I wanted to leave a legacy, if you haven't read the description of my first album, there it is (TLDR bellow image):

I gave up on music after a long time (I might tell you the story of my life if you are willing to know). In summary, things never have turned out well for me, I don't make good music because I never got to pay for music classes, I've been unable to follow my dreams as an artist forever, I've been following this dream since I'm a kid.

In 2020 my uncle gave me his old laptop (an Inspiron 1464), which allowed me to continue with my dream of being a producer/artist. I used to make music before on an even worse laptop which was an eMachines with only 1GB of RAM lol. Now both laptops are dead, I'm jobless, living with less than 23DLS a week. I've been trying to get a job, I swear to God I've sent about 60 job applications without having any luck.

I need to let this clear, I'm not begging for money, I'm not trying to make up a sad story to make money from it. I'm just letting you know that I'm not making music anymore not because I don't want, but because I'm totally unable to keep up with my dreams.

Now, here's the thing. I'm hoping that by sharing my songs and making them known, some people get to support me, not by paywalling my work, because I believe in free share and genuine support from people. So that's the reason I'm making them payable, I even have a Buy Me A Coffee page where you can support me. It's totally unnecessary and I didn't want to do this in first place. But I have a dream and I hope someday to make it real. If I do, I'd support all the people that were in my situation.

So stop saying sad stuff. If you want to support me, the real way to support me is sharing my music with my story, with the context behind a crappy piece. So if you don't like my music (which is understandable), at least it would be cool that I get to do what I always wanted to do with help of the internet.

I'd tell you more about myself but it's 04:21 AM and I'm so sleepy. I just hope you read this. If you follow me, you're already supporting me! I can't explain you how grateful I feel to know someone actually enjoys my music in some way, even when I published them having on mind that no one would ever get to listen to it. Now, another way to support me, if not following me and listening my music, is sharing my story. Even indie artists these days have contacts, they have clout, they weren't lucky, they had the road made for them from the beginning. If I make it, I'd like to start a discography for people like me, because I believe everyone should follow their dreams. The musical industry shouldn't smash every small artist. We must thrive.
