Why did I choose music?
I haven't gotten that question lately. It is, however, one that has been running through my head. Is it fame? Fortune? The hope I may star in an Old Navy commercial fifteen years after my prime? No. None of those reasons. I chose this, because I love it.
It goes back to that day in Utica. I was playing guitar with Ryan's band and I was in the spotlight for at least two minutes. In those two minutes, I felt the greatest rush that anyone could possibly feel. Playing music for people and getting a reaction. That's what I love. That's what I live for.
Which brings me to my announcement tonight. I want to feel that rush again. I want to feel it on a grand scale. More importantly, I want to make a career doing it. To do so, I need to get some exposure. So for that reason, I am happy to announce the following.
On Saturday, February 16th, 2013 at 2:00pm EST, I will be auditioning for the upcoming season of NBC's The Voice!
I'm tired of being the musician who writes in his bedroom, goes out and plays for twenty people, comes home, rinse and repeat. I want be heard. I want the world to hear my voice. I want to have a room full of people sing my songs back to me. The only way I can get there is through this opportunity.
These open mic nights? Rehersal. The real fun comes in February. What do I have to lose right? If I do awesome, the world gets to hear my voice. Mission accomplished. If I don't, I keep trying. Not like they have an age limit. Right, Idol??
The road to The Voice begins tonight! Who wants to come with??
Lessthanthree,
Doug
