I'm going to start softly unfollowing anyone that ever implies or goes to extra lengths to promote musicians based on their age only. I've had enough of it. Music is not a youth cult. I don't care if you think it is. You are wrong.

Why would a local arts festival only want a covers band? This is what is wrong with the music industry. There are countless bands, groups and solo artists making original music. Why only a covers band? There's pubs for that. Isnt there?

So.. I'm Kiffie. I started producing music at the age of 40, 14 months ago. I write music by ear, about things that shouldn't make me sad but do. I'm an emotional person, so my music reflects that. I will be performing live in August hopefully. #NewMusic #electronicmusic

Only two years ago I ordered my first drum machine and synth. I had no idea at all how to make music. I had no idea that DAWs existed. I just felt a huge need to create and for the first time in my life in had a bit of money and the time to be creative. The rest is... the future.

If you're an artist using AI to help you compose music you are not an artist at all. Only people with either no skill of their own or no ideas uses AI for this purpose. How fucking dare you pretend to be an artist if you rely on these inhuman tools to make music.
