Josh Solomon, a session musician and member of the band Young Lovers, shares his journey into music and the challenges he faced as a member of a first-generation Filipino American family. Despite family pressure to pursue a more traditional career, Josh found support and validation within the music community.

Opportunities and validation, such as a big break or positive audience reactions, can provide affirmation and motivation to continue pursuing music. Physical challenges, like carpal tunnel syndrome, can be discouraging, but musicians often find ways to adapt and continue playing. The music industry can be tough and competitive, requiring musicians to pivot and find their own paths within it. Pivoting away from your passion doesn't mean giving up on it entirely. There may be other ways to stay connected to it and explore different aspects of it. Maintaining a childlike appreciation for music and finding joy in the process is crucial to staying motivated and inspired. Comparing yourself to others can be discouraging. Focus on your own journey and the progress you're making. The way you play now is just as important and beautiful as where you want to be in the future. Embrace the present moment and celebrate your growth. Don't be afraid to take breaks and let your passion breathe. Sometimes stepping back can lead to new perspectives and renewed inspiration.
