What does music mean to me?
Music is my whole life, my growth, my joy, my experiences, my art, my experiments, my exploration.
Above all, it's entertaining.
It exists because I want to give joy and excitement to the listeners.
That's why I devote so much of my life to music.
My songs are composed by myself and do not use AI.
If I compose with AI, the composer will be AI. Not me. The problem is not that we become a society that works with AI. AI is great depending on how you use it. Some people may be able to compose music using AI in just a few seconds. If I did that, nothing would make sense. Why I play music, why do I make music, even the meaning of it.
Subscriptions don't make much money. I can't live without doing another job. Someday, I will do something worthy of devoting my life to composing music. A song that you've dedicated your life to can't be sold cheaply on a subscription service. Eventually, I will be selling only on my homepage.
Music is born from human creation. Joy and suffering are created as melodies and chords. I will focus on exploring and creating my own inner music, even if it doesn't make money or takes time. If I have to do another job to make a living, I'll accept that. Even if I have less time to write songs. It's purely a love of music. There is nothing else. I love music, but I don't love the music industry. I will pursue my music with all my life. I would like to thank everyone who understands this and loves my music as well. I will continue to live and create music for everyone who has expectations and support for what I do.
Thank you.
