Do what your heart says And always put God first in everything you do, and ask him to help  you fulfill your dreams ;O) God bless good luck.  I love music also.

Either stay with it the way you are and wait or do something that will help you get a solo.  What I am not sure.  I had a good voice too when I was young and alot of people say I still do but I am now old.  My friend, do not stop if you want to get ahead! Do what you must do to to where you want to go!

You did great seeing as most people never have the guts to do that. You are on you're way. Everything in Universe timing. Never in our timing. That's when it all comes together. Meanwhile, don't give up. You have come a long way.My sis made it to the top of the charts for 15 years and she started out homeless and no money. Just kept going no matter what and one day, Wham! She is approached by an agent at a concert and the deal was closed with Capital Records in 3 days.

I have asked myself that question time and time again!! Each time, additional aspects are discovered to my list of what's stopping me! Aspects such over-protective parents that places limits to how far I can go and in what direction based on which dream, family in general, trying to please and be there for my fiance and so on. Also material wise such as money, resources, etc. I think the number one blockage is you, the dreamer. For the dreamer, everything is an evil factor standing in it's path, lack of motivation, being paranoid, fear of failure, no encouragement from others, no courage within one's self, being confused to having no vision of reaching the dream!! What's the point of going after the dream if I can't see myself within it?!

excellent question! ....Patzky has me singing Simple man. Any how Ive always had dreams of being something really great. Doing work that affects many people and has positive impact on all of them. Not that I think I am that great of a person but I think life provides little opportunities to be that. Im a dreamer what more can I say?

Absolutely i have been singign for 10 yrs and i still struggle with wantnig to soudn liek me and not liek someone else, im a singer not an impersonator. The best advice i can give you is to not think just feel sometimes we are not far enough removed frmo our own stuff that we fail to see how individual our creativness is, gte some other ppls opinions u mith be surprised.and lastly play from your heart and soul u can never go wrong find yrou strong points muscially and develope yoru style around them and dont forget to add yor own little quirks like a breaknig in yrou voice if u sing these little things may seem liek imperfections but they can somtemis be detrimental to yrou style. Cheers and good luck with it.

yes, but dont listen to other music for it. try to do somethin different. inspiration can come from anything, and as miraculousely as it shows up, it disappears. so i recommend carrying a little note pad a jottin down ideas. i wrote an entire cd in like 3 weeks just from doin tht.

i am from a small town that is not bigger than 2500 people in it and on top of that it is in Texas. I love writting songs I have been singing in the church choir since the age of 5, and I use to dream about being a singer. But one day my dad and aunt asked me what i wanted to be, i told them and they said baby keep dreaming dont no body around here make it into stars. They even said I had a voice like heavenly angels but they said me being here aint gon help me at all. So it is not the fact that they dont believe in themselves it is that someone that is important to them discouraged them but yes I will encourage whoever has these talents to believe in your self and reach for the stars. Because you can do anything you put your mind to .

So, your skill is awesome, eh?? ^_^\n\nMaybe you can teach me a thing or two, btw I try to find someone who can play a lot of musical instrument and have a great sense of music. I don't want to be cocky, but I'm 18 years old boy and I know a lot of classical music. I've been playing guitar for 3 years and I have made a lot of songs. But I don't publish it, and mostly I forgot it after 6-7 days. ^_^\n\nBut I want to find someone who have a great sense of music, because all my friends know how to sing, to play musical instrument, but doesn't have a sense. Just play it like a copycat, and honestly, I don't like it....

A good song always starts with a poem.Why dont you try singing out those poem you wrote and come up with a good tune then sing it to him,for a change...if you can't sing,then let somebody else sing it for you...POETS ARE CREATIVE..be one..

Well...you have to be able to sing...and if you can't sing, eh...try something else.\n\nPersonally, I've accepted every offer I've been given when it comes to music, even if I wasn't too excited about it. I've done opera, musicals, simple party performances, and other stuff...

I think it would be more meaningful if you wrote a song about the experiences of someone close to you instead of things that happened, or allegedly happened, to random people on the internet.  I think it's cool that you are into writing songs, though.  Good luck with that!

Start in a church. Practice and strengthen your voice. When your ready write your own songs and record an album. Then submit your album to record companies.
