So its 2016, Im really looking forward to what this year is going to bring. I've had some good gigs already this year, and have some fun ones lined up going forward. I just got a call today asking to book me for a fundraising event. I was stoked to volunteer my time but the organizer insisted on paying my normal fee... thats unreal I dont get it but Im thankful. On top of that Ill be playing right before a local performer that I really admire. His name is Kaipo Kapua. Ive known of this guy for so long and became a fan when I started getting into playing music. Im really excited about meeting him and watching him do his thing. I've never seen him live before.
Ive got a bunch of weddings booked into the spring. One of them is in partnership with a local radio personality KreyZ Oshiro from Island 98.5. I met him while playing at an open mic competition. He does wedding sound and Emcee services and has included me as an option for his wedding packages.
Im super humbled and just hyped over all these things. I know I've only been in this music thing for a minute but its been such a fun ride and Im so grateful for all the opportunities that have been placed in my path and for all the people Ive met and all the experiences.
I dont know what your dream is, what gets your heart racing, or what drives you. Whatever it is, do it. Dont worry about how good or not good you are or what other people will think. I know Im not the most talented or skilled or trained at what I do but I love it and I know that passion is something people can sense and its something people are drawn to. All the other stuff comes with time and dedication but nothing starts, if you dont.
Anyways I hope you are chasing your dreams. love, blessings and aloha.
