I made my dream almost come true... I always wanted to be a rock star... I taught myself to sing at around 12 to the like of guns n roses (mainly) .... By the time I was 14 I mastered the art of singing.... After years of playing small gigs,
I started puting vids of me singing on myspce classifieds looking to join a better band... One day I get a message from a band out in L.A.... I thought it was b.s. but to make a long story short,
I replied and had 1st class airfare from east coast out to L.A. free of charge imediately to record some stuff with them.. They had connecxts to a few record companies so I had a foot in the door...After I came back home (east coast) ...I get a call from capitol records... This guy tells me I have star quality with my looks and voice.. He tells me he wants me to do a showcase for him with the band..He told me they were seriously considering signing us and told me to catch the next flight back to cali asap...He told me to think hard about this because Once we sign, I would be out on the road for 12 to 18 months (he knew I had kids)....
Again, Long story short, I decided the last minute (had my suitcase packed) to let it all go .... I chose my woman and children over a music carear..... Do I regret it.... Sometimes..... I fell into a deep depression for about 2 years... This was in 08....Now at 32 years old.... Im thinking...At least I can say I had the golden opportunity, thats good enough for me...I tell some people sometimes and they look at me like im full of it... I could really care less... I know it happened and so does my family, and thats all that matters...
I can tell you this from experiance though....
You always have dreams.... rock star, movie star, astronaut...ect...ect...But once your face to face with the dream...It's a totally differant situation..... Just thought I'd share my dreram that I let slip through my fingers....
