I started making music around 10 years ago, and still love making them. However, it's not what I want to do as a career (I'm in software). Music is not my life nor part of my identity - it's just a therapeutic hobby, an outlet if you will. Seeing people enjoy my music feels very rewarding. There were people who used my songs at their wedding/events/videos/etc and I realized that that's what made me happy, not a bunch of $0.99 iTunes transactions. Of course I'd like to see the hobby pay for itself, but trying to force that would just suck out the joy. I hope these songs would be useful for your projects. Do send me links if you use them, I'd like to feature.
