MUSIC MIXING WITHOUT THE INTERNET!
A big question, how do you intend to sustain financially if the Internet happens to be disintegrated or removed? This is one big personal question many people haven't thought of just yet especially those of us who are into web3 and other categories of the Internet and maybe that's because we feel the Internet is here to stay and it keeps getting better rather than fading off and that is realistically true anyways but let's look at things differently and assume the Internet was no more in place.
This is where your physical skill comes in. Sometimes called the labor market strategy, a means of surviving amongst your foes in other to keep up financially and meet up to expectations. Here is how mine started.
Many years ago when I just got admitted into the university to chase my B.ENG degree, I had thought of several means of surviving the hard times in the university because I knew it wasn't going to be easy.
Originally I had absolutely no idea what I intended to do as a skill that could be fetching me some money on the go but then, I was a lover of entertainment, I danced, I choreographed and was fully stationed into entertainment. I made quite a lot of money being a dancer, I had a crew/band we got hired for shows and occasions we gave out our best and people feel excited, we even get tips from the audience which of course isn't part of the payment for the day.
That was where I started from but as time goes on, I fell into music, not as a musician or song writer but I enjoyed every concept of music. From the creation/production process of making music, down to mastering and mixing. Music became the new life and new catch. I had a very good friend whom happened to be a disk jokey and I remembered going to his house one day and he sat me down and I still remember the words he told me when he said “boy, you see this job? You'll never be hungry” this word sank into me and I held on to it. Sounded like what I needed to survive already.
He took me up and brushed me up. I'm forever grateful for what God has done for me through the life of that young man. I got myself branded and put out to the public. It wasn't easy at first but God saw me through every difficult times and I hot my very first DJ mixing controller as at 2019/2020 it was a dream come true. More jobs came in and greater heights got achieved.
Being a DJ is what I was doing to survive in school but after school I found every reason to keep pushing the carrier and skill but since I already got another job, I had to focus less on the skill and more on the current job. But with that being said, a career is a career and a skill learned and mastered remains a skill. That is one achievement I've had permanently. Although this skill is partially paired to the Internet due to it's technologically based approach, if we happen to run out of the Internet in the world today, I believe I can still make a living with this skill and I definitely plan to further into it!.
