This is my informal career motto: You never know! Years ago, I had a neighbor who knew somebody who ended up being a great mentor for me. Just a random conversation with the neighbor and it helped my career and mindset greatly.

How does a seasoned indie music producer and mixer transition into commercial composition and mixing for tv, advertising and film? Im self-taught, constantly learning, and feel it’s a tragedy that I can’t do the one thing I only want to do, and that is to work full time mixing or producing. My portfolio is vast. I’m just working on soundtracking a short film to be exposed to more of that kind of @work, but nobody is responding to my job applications
