What frustrates you most as a musician?

being pushed to over tired (exhaustion) myself in practice when a rest is in need. Performing tired makes the audience feel less energy dynamics in the performance. the loud music sometimes electronic that can cause ear damage by deafness and loss of hearing, earplugs are needed for every performance even on stage and in rehearsals, practice mode too. Work health and safety. fainting because of the loud music. I sugguest maybe have a rest every 15 minutes of playing music to reenergise and perform with energy that you feel comfortable with. Maybe if needed a rest every 5 minutes to begin, start with or even more often. I think if you want to promote your music do it online first in audio recording, messages or videos because to go visit strangers is dangerous, clubs might have spiked drugs in food and drinks, illegal drugs that may make dependancy and then the lifestyle is about drugs, then drugdealing that could impact family, friends, money, assests like homes, health. education programs about increase awareness of drugs and learning to have a healthy lifestyle like cooking, shopping, diets. Harassment, sexual abuse, misuse of power. Finding advice is good.

Original entertainers, own songwriting, increase learning in music, more training continuing, incorporate dance skills in music, learning electronic music can be by playing online phone or tablet computer application games like in disc jockeying djing. be happy.
