Brave post and decision! thanks for your covers and songs so far. Even if only one person enjoyed it, it was worth it, as you made that person's day a bit better. All the best for your future !

I just discovered you and am sorry to learn that your plans didn't materialize as you hoped. For what it's worth, I am very impressed at the rap covers you did - one of the very few who even attempt it. I respect that. Whatever the future holds for you, I wish you every joy.

Sad to hear, but totally ok and understandable. Take a break, regroup and find a way back to your passion 🙏❤

I can very much relate. Everyone says to me how talented I am and that I should do it for a living, and I always wanted to. But it has never worked out. I just hope your pain won’t last for too long. And you’ll soon find some other passion or you’ll find love for music again in the future. Hugs!

Damn man. Im going through the same things as you and I have never reached any level of success that you have. Hopefully you can have solace knowing you've inspired me and many others. Life is a strange journey and trying to make it in music is crazy. It takes more than being Uber talented. It takes luck too.Take your time and do what is best for you. No Shame in taking a break or "giving up". As I get older the stress of trying to make good music sucks the joy out of it and everything you wrote basically is how I feel. So in some ways I understand what you're saying. Either way I'll still be enjoying your covers and I'm gonna try and give your original stuff a listen. Cheers.

Man i feel you After some rest, i think you will back to music I think that's what world is today. There's so much good music and bands today I think its not for be somebody, be a rock star or something, just play it for yourself, because you love it and enjoy it Im playing guitar too and feel you Im really enjoy some of your songs, i really love covers

give it a break. Come back with another perspective man ! The game isnt as pure as u thought. U didnt make what u expected dont means you arent great at music . And for most journeys , the building part is so difficult until u find the right angle 📐. But we all need a long break once in a while . Wish u luck ! ( for example, mean while look away from America, try take a look at China, u will realise the “ game “ is so different, then u may understand what most Business ppl are doing with our “Beloved Music” . ( go get an VPN then look at DouYin tiktok chinese version, see how the ppl making great life with their skills ( those ppl dont even have your skills ) ))

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I am quitting music. I don’t know if it’s forever, but it sure feels like it.
For years singing was the greatest joy I knew in life. Song saw me thru many breakups and breakdowns… and I would write to ease the pain.
People always told me I was talented and that I was “gonna be somebody”… and I believed em.
So I started sharing my music bc it made me happy and I wanted to connect with people thru song… but now it’s not enjoyable at all. I am not happy when I sing.
The majority of people have been encouraging, but random comments like “give up” or “kys” is not what I signed up for. I am too sensitive for that. I wish I had thick skin, but I don’t. I guess it comes with the territory. Some people don’t even like Elvis!
But I created what I think is my best record this year and nobody has even listened to it! It all feels impossible.
I feel I am forever banished to be an Eminem meme. Because I would have to release an original song with over 4m views to “beat it” and i don’t think I can! So I feel like creating original music has become completely futile even if it’s a cover.
Even with millions of views, nobody in Nashville has given me a shot to make a real record… so I’m jaded. What is the point? I don’t want to do it anymore. And I don’t like how I sound.
So for my own health and sanity, I am stepping away from music. I’m not looking for sympathy or likes… I just want to express that I’m done making music… at least for now. The guitar has become a rock I can’t pick up… and the microphone feedsback everytime I sing.
I never wanted to be a “star”. I just wanted to express myself and maybe get some type of recognition in my city. It truly breaks my heart to walk away, because I tried so hard, but it still wasn’t enough.
Thanks to all the people who supported me on my musical journey. I appreciate everyone who listened. But I tap out! I gave it my all! And I quit!
