So you sent 🎵 tracks for a project you have been hired to work on, and the first feedback is a buttload of points, notes, even fully rejected tracks.

Don't feel bad. Welcome to the music business. 🎶

Yes, I feel really bad as well, and I struggle with this a lot because I'm passionate about the music I do. I really care about the music I write, but here is the hard truth about these situations. I actually can see Carlos reading this and laughing 😂 because this very morning we had this very conversation happening to me.

I do understand the problems. I know what is expected of me; I struggle with it.

"It's not that the music is bad. It's simply that it doesn't match the director's perspective or his needs." I heard these words from Jodie Foster once, in a movie 🎬 she was producing. The composer did a great job, but not the job she was looking for.

The most difficult thing to do in a project is learning and understanding what the director wants, and in that process, your music is going to be rejected. It's our job as musicians, as media musicians, to learn exactly what is being asked and then make the project our own, move in the same direction that the director wants, and then make the best fucking music you can. 🎧

The rest is all EGO. And, along with imposter syndrome, those are two things we have to deal with.

Fight it and get hired again. 💪
