Here we go!

Collaborate: work jointly on an activity, esp. to produce or create something

Colabs: One part crazy idea, one part music industry experiment, one part lifelong dream; a really great sounding mix, a network of trust and integrity, a really cool job!

Here we go!

Hopefully you have found this blog because, like me, you have a passion to work in the music industry. Maybe you are an artist trying to make a career out of your music. Maybe you are a record producer or a recording engineer wanting to get better at what you love. Maybe you just love music and like the idea of people actually work together for a change!

The music industry is a complicated thing and an odd place to try and build a 'career'. Hard work, genuine talent, a never-ending desire to grow, flexibility, passion; a music industry career requires a lot out of you is you hope to succeed. And even with all that, you still aren't guarantee success in an industry as fast changing, unpredictable and organic as this one!

But, if you are like me, you know that it is all worth it to be in this place. A place where you can get up every morning knowing that you are going to use all of your passion and talent, even if it only connects with one person. We are creative and we must create! I often say that I never chose to work in this crazy industry, it chose me.

From one creative person to another, thanks for following your passion and not taking the easy way out. There are many things about the industry that I would like to be part of changing so that things will be better for all of us. As I share more about Colabs and what it is we are about, maybe we can find ways to work together and make thing better.
