So I thought it was time to write another post on here. The last time I wrote one of these was about 8 months ago. I’m proud to say I feel I’ve made significant progress since that post…. and yet some of my goals are exactly the same. I still want to record a full length album. I still want to go on tour. I haven’t accomplished these things yet, but I do feel like I’m much closer than I was in December.
I wonder if I made the right decision about school every day. I’ve officially put it off until further notice. For those of you that don’t know the story… I’ll explain it now.
In September 2010, I was enrolled in Marymount Manhattan’s drama program with a concentration in musical theater. My plan was to continue my pursuit of music AND acting, while studying in a full-time program. As overly-ambitious as I am, it quickly became clear that this was going to be too much to handle. On the first day of classes (literally within an hour of attending my first acting class at Marymount), I visited the Dean to discuss my situation. I had a meeting at a major record label the first week of school and it directly conflicted with the time slot of one of my courses. When I explained this to the Dean, he informed me that I was not to professionally pursue music OR acting while in the drama/musical theater program at Marymount as it would affect my training and education. This was when I was faced with the decision to put aside my professional pursuits in exchange for an education. I couldn’t do it. So I deferred for 6 months, telling myself that if I hadn’t made significant progress in my career by the spring semester, I would return to classes. I didn’t return for the spring semester. I don’t know why I’m so ambitious, why I have so much faith in myself, and why I threw away a perfectly good education and training for what I have now. The entertainment industry is sloppy, unreliable, difficult, unsteady, and genuinely painful to pursue. The likelihood of my success is slim to none and yet every day I wake up and keep on. I have been deeply in love with performance since I was little and there is nothing else that even comes close to the passion I have for music and acting. Maybe this is crazy. Maybe I should have a back up plan. I do believe education is incredibly important. Everybody should go to school. I will absolutely get a college degree someday… But right now, to put on hold everything that my heart has wanted for my past 19 years of existence, for a piece of paper and a 4 year pause from what I really want… that would be torture. So while I don’t know if I’ve made the right decision in the long run, and I have no clue if I will have success in this avenue of my life, at this point in time, music & acting are the only things that I can do whole-heartedly… and aren’t we taught to pour our hearts into everything we do?
When did you realize that music was what you wanted to do?
- It’s one of those things where for as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to sing… and then when I was 7 or 8 I started exploring writing my own songs.
Musically, where do you hope to see yourself in five years?
- I hope I will…
