The album will be out in late September, but sometimes I still catch myself asking this question when the answer has all along been very clear in my heart.
As a musician, there is no clear-cut corporate ladders to climb, no promotions to clinch, and let’s not even go into the subject of annual bonus. Truth is, I have overcome the envious feelings of hearing my good friends discuss their promotions and fat bonuses, and have come to terms with the fact that these are things I have to remove from my plate if I’m going to fill mine with the joy of doing music.
But one thing which escapes is that my friends attend courses regularly to upgrade themselves. To learn more is always wonderful; it makes one feel alive. And getting certificates, be it diplomas or masters can be very satisfying and signify a milestone in your personal education or career.
This is something I lack, and need. And so the idea arrived like a big fat raindrop that splashed on the back of my head, and I decided to just do this, for myself - as a mini-celebration (albeit a financially-damaging one) for plunging into music full-time for 5 years. 5 years may not seem a long time to some, but I’m counting my blessings to stay afloat and well.
Finally I can dress up my songs and contain them in tiny 12 by 12 plastics to be distributed all over Singapore. Sharing my songs and making them available and accessible to more people excited me, but the potential of learning so much more through this project thrilled me 10 folds.
And if I don’t do it now, then when?
And if I wait, the next question will be, what’s there to wait?
It feels so damn good to be in a position where I can decide for myself.
Yes it costs me a bomb, but spending on it is euphoric.
