It's a question many musicians want to know. Can they make a living writing music? Whether that's scoring films, writing music for video games, composing for TV the question is much the same. Guy Michelmore has been doing just that for over thirty years so here is his take on this question. IN the vidoe Guy analyses the state of the market, where the opportunities are and where they are not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDc0QWKeRe0

I always enjoy Guy’s videos on music and new sample libraries that I might be interested in. Making a living as a composer isn’t easy, but it’s doable. I’ve never done anything but music all my life. There’s never been a “ side job or a plan b”. I have to wear a few hats and be able to switch gears and do it right now, but that’s what makes it fun. It’s music and no one gets hurt.

Love Guy’s videos. For me, making a living and working with people who love the process as much as I do for the rest of my life would be the most rewarding thing! I’m not a public person so the Hollywood “fortune and glory” doesn’t appeal to me.
