Sometimes it is good that Facebook reminds you of things like this. 4 years ago we did this show withPerturbator with 5$ tickets and I remember everyone was asking me what is this weird music and why am I even doing this. Nobody listens to it anyways, and I should just give up, forget this silly idea and go back to focus on my dead-end job that was slowly but surely destroying me and my whole spirit.
Neither of us did what people told us, we kept making this weird, silly music that no one listened to. 4 years later Perturbator is filling up arenas, everyone knows his name, and he has lights and pyrotechnics that could put Rammstein to shame. I didn’t quit either. I used to do “shows” in dusty, underground ruin pubs for “exposure”, where only a handful of my friends showed up. Now with my upcoming US tour in September in total I’ll have 48 US shows behind me in 2019, which makes me the one Hungarian producer who has the most shows in the United States in this year. I used to be an absolute nobody, nobody cared about me and my music, not even in my hometown. Now I’m the one representing my entire country in the United States, and I’m the reason people there even know Hungary exists.
I don’t want to turn this into some kind of cheezy motivational speech, but think about this for a minute in regards of your own life. Nobody will believe in you and your dreams when you start out. They will laugh at you, ridicule you, tell you to give up, quit, all that. Just ignore it. Don’t try to convince them. Just Keep going, and soon you won’t have to say anything. Your results will speak for themselves. It might be a year, 4 years or 8 years. But if you are really passionate about something and put in the work, it will get results.
I know it feels horrible when you get zero support from your closest friends or even your family, but soon you’ll find the right people and the right people will find you. And it won’t matter to you or them that they are from the other side of the planet and have never even seen you, or talked to you. They will support you like you are their best friend. And that is a great feeling.
