Story time with Auntie Kal about school.
First, a piece of advice to any of y’all who are in college or about to start that part of your life. Whatever your degree is, make sure you’re looking for internships or fellowships while you’re in school because that degree won’t be enough on its own. Future employers will not care about what degree you have or where you got it. What they do care about is experience. Especially if you’re like me and going into entertainment. It’s a fickle industry, so do whatever freelance you can to get your name out there.
Second, actual story time. Here’s something that no one’s going to tell you about being in the studio and recording or producing music: it can get really boring really fast. You don’t just sing the song and go, you might be singing one line 50+ times. If you’re behind the console, you’ll listen to a single song so many times, you might never want to hear it again. And look, I really love the song I’m covering for my project. But it’s also a total earworm, so I’ll be humming the hook for the foreseeable future.
Let me know in the comments if I should release it when it’s done, yes?
