The importance of music

I grew up in Nashville in the music industry watching my Dad working as an arranger and producer in recording studios from the time I was 5 years old. There was never any doubt this is what I would be doing for a living :)
At that time, you had to be mentored by someone, brought in to the business, and recognized for your talent, then have that talent developed over decades. Good Lord, you really don't want to even hear the music I was composing 30 years ago :)
With the fear of AI looming, more royalty free music libraries than you can count, and the threat of songwriters royalties diminishing, I have really been left wondering what the importance and weight music holds for the world. Is it worth more than a McDonald's happy meal, a cup of coffee, or even bag of chips? Those offering music to content creators for $59/year would say no.
Is it time to make a concerted effort to value art before we find ourselves living in a society where art isn't produced any more, or at least good art isn't? Fortunately, I've been blessed with a list of clients who really do value the emotional nature music can bring to film, and other mediums. Just something to think about for your Friday... #composer #originalmusic #art
