The Studio Finale: A Bittersweet goodbye

3 September 2024

As we wrapped up our final session at the studio, I found myself reflecting on why I never fully pursued music as a career. For years, writing and sometimes releasing music was more of a personal outlet than a strategic pursuit. It was my sanctuary, my escape during challenging times. 

Watching the guys come together with such dedication and passion, working tirelessly without expecting anything in return, stirred up a mix of emotions. If I'd had this kind of support years ago, maybe I would have had the courage to dive into the music industry. Perhaps I'd be thriving by now. Yet, I wonder if this is how it was always meant to be. Was I truly ready back then? Would I have been able to express myself so authentically? Would I have had the life experiences to draw from? 

When "The Sound Guy" complimented my song, it resonated with me on a level I can hardly put into words. I played it cool on camera, but inside, my heart was dancing. This year, I'm not just recording an album; I'm unveiling pieces of myself. Each song reveals my deepest thoughts and experiences. His praise wasn't just for the music - it was for a journey that unfolded exactly when it was meant to, a story I was once too afraid to share. 

In the world of the arts, vulnerability is essential. You need to be ready to give your true self to the world. If you're not there yet, it might be worth waiting. Your moment will come, and while success might look different from what you imagined, it will be fulfilling. Your soul will find joy, your purpose will become clear, and you'll be ready to embrace whatever comes next. 

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the final studio sessions. Your help made this journey unforgettable. As I move forward with recording on my own at my home studio, I'm filled with gratitude for the incredible experience we shared. 

Until next time, keep the music alive and buzzing!

@carnitab Played a laidback role in the studio this week while Josh crushed it! Seriously, how can one person be so talented? And shoutout to the sound check guy for that unexpected compliment—got me right in the feels. 🥹 I’ll share more on the blog later, but man, the collaborative vibe at this place is just everything. Also…Liam saved me. I am not a good sound guy at all🤦🏾‍♀️ Went all #cinematic this week 😅 #singersongwriter #songwriter #masterofarts #masterstudent #musicmaking #livingmydream #forayear #albuminthemaking #piecesofme #2025 #demorecordings #studiorecording #studiolife #musiccollaboration #vlogblogthings ♬ original sound - Carnita Boltman
