In September of 2025, which sounds far away but it is only about two and a half years off, I will hit the 20 year mark of being a performing artist.
I started out doing sit up comedy for the first 15 years, but then gradually shifted over to music as the comedy wasn’t doing it for me anymore.
The time I spent doing comedy wasn’t a waste though, as it seems to have genuinely helped me with the singing and music side. I am pretty fantastic at making up songs on the fly, and adding humor helps a lot; Heating and A/C repairs I sometimes sing about, and especially on days in the local corporation when things go wrong with a heating or cooling system service job. Singing about my concerns seems to take away some of the power they have on me, as I used to do with my comedy sets. I like to toil for the Heating and A/C corporation doing smart control device sales and giving energy saving tips to the buyers, but when I am playing drums and singing I feel more free than ever. I almost feel like a little child again when I am performing, and I know that is what keeps me doing it. The air conditioner corporation where my associate and I toil is going to have us do a musical show when they have a large sale on all of the heating and cooling technology in the store. My friend and I normally get paid about $400 a show, despite the fact that I told the owner of the store that my associate and I would do this one for free.
