If the gig is going well...then happiness and self-expression
VERY tough....nobody wants to pay to listen to music or have it recorded by professionals who know what they are doing. I'd like to see the industry support real musicians/songwriters much more than they do. Less influencers/celebrities and more real talent would be good....and more focus on good well crafted original music and not just software generated tracks.
It's good... :-)
Lack of money/support to enable recording and performance opportunities for musicians.
Occasionally, but I live miles away from any big cities....so opportunities are slim.
Thick skin and a good business sense! Great songs help too!....and playing plus recording skills
Cry Of Love spring to mind. Long disbanded now, but they were a truly great classic rock band in the early 90s. Audley Freed on guitar. They should have been huge.
