I wanna tell you a story.
A story about the year of 2017.
The year I decided
I'm the creator of my future.
It goes like this.
This year I follow the steps of people I like people who succeed in their lives.
People who live out of their comfort zone.
I won't forget my friends words: "Get out
of your comfort zone. Living in it isn't interesting, isn't dynamic. You can't get
hurt, you can't fall down, but you also cannot grow. It gets boring being so
stagnant". He was right I needed to move forward. But, let's turn back time for a
moment. When I was young, I was introduced to vinyls and the Beatles. What
I like about them is dreaming about better days. Dreaming about better life and
living it to the fullest.
Back to track.
MUSIC
I'm interested in music
I live for it. I play guitar, I record, I mix. That's my life. But getting into the
music industry is hard. Really hard. I've experienced it first hand.
Someone once
said to me: Luka, getting into the studio is impossible and you're never gonna make it.
But his words had the opposite effect. I stopped hesitating and doubting my
dreams and made a plan to reach a new goal every single month.
I grabbed a notebook and start writing everything I wanna learn.
When I read through what
I've written it became clear, that I need to go abroad. I bought plane ticket
and went to Amsterdam. But that wasn't just a trip. I had a plan to find an
internship.
I went from studio to studio, nothing but my motivational letter in my hand.
How naive of me to think people actually read those.
A lot of places were closed.
It was harder than I thought.
I was so disappointed.
I failed.
When I got home I started to write emails to those studios. I got only a
few responses.
One month later I got an email that said.
Hi Luka, persistent
devil you are. Wanna come down for a cup of coffee and a chat some day?
I tried to get
an interview over Skype, but he said he would like to talk in person. So I bought
a ticket again and went back.
I got there, filled with excitement but all for
nothing.
The studio was closed.
The owner forgot
we had an interview booked.
Come to studio again in four hours he said.
I got there,
talked and got an internship. Come back in September and you will start.
Later I wrote to him to make sure I have all the right information. I sent him a
text message, I called, emailed, nothing.
I failed for the second time.
Two months later
I got a call from a friend from Hamburg. He told me he's doing a big
project and if I have time to come and work with him in a studio. I was thrilled
next stop
Hamburg
It was a great experience.
I learned a lot saw something
I never saw before but I needed to go back to Ljubljana. Back to reality.
I was
furious first I felt like I was moving ahead making something of myself but all
of a sudden I felt stuck.
But it doesn't stop there.
Something changed.
Later people start calling me and asking if I'm interested in working on their
projects so I started recording and mixing music. I released my first album I
cooperated with people I wouldn't dare to dream of a year ago. I made my first
big commercial project with my friend and things finally started to fall into
place.
The finish line is still far away but if I set a goal I will succeed one day
NO DOUBT
