As explained with some of the tracks I have had on repeat since my break.
I haven't posted on here in a while (since 2021).
There are a few different reasons.
Reason number one being I did not have the money to carry on my Wix subscription (rip).
I needed money, so I got a job in the last year of completing my French Degree. Everyone told me I was crazy, it was April - my exams were due to start end of May....but I needed something more than just studying everyday. I felt like I needed stability and after study security, which an office job provided. Little did I know how much time (shock horror) a 9-5 would take up.
There was a part of me that also wanted to balance my own music production career, maybe as an artist or as a producer, as I felt a bit lost with who I truly wanted to be.
Long story short with all of this going on, 2022 was a truly tough year for me mentally. I faced some really hard truths that i think a lot of people face in their early 20's. Finding my place in the world as it changed so rapidly around me seemed near impossible and I started to let go of the passion I held towards what I thought Virile Music had the potential to be in my head.
I've always had such huge dreams and visions of my own success and achievements that I felt as though I had, up until this point, been selling myself pipe dreams in my own head.
After a lot of work on myself, with the help of friends and family I managed to get myself out of this unhappy rut. I got to travel some more, graduate from University and slowly come back to my passionate dreaming self. Throughout all this I never once had a day where I would not listen to music (This is actually factually correct and documented via my Last.fm profile [no lie] ). I found so many new artists over the past two years - new friends made on the internet, producers and likeminded individuals and I also got to experience new genres. Slowly but surely, I managed to find me and exactly where I should be.
Finally, just as we fall in love with songs, unexpectedly; on the radio, on a friends playlist, in a H&M, at a rave...I fell in love too. His shared passion for my passions has mostly been the driving force behind restarting up Virile Music. After months of my partners motivational speeches - I went on holiday with my best friend and decided it was now or never and to revive the site.
I'm super excited to restart this journey with my full dedication to showcasing the music I'm so passionate about.
