Do any Indie or even Hobbyist musicians post here? I'm always down to listen to new stuff.

Do you do this for a living or a side gig? I've been playing since I was about 5. I have put some stuff up on SoundCloud in the past, but I have terrabytes of stuff that will probably never see the light of day. It's just for fun really, as I have no delusions of breaking into the biz at my age. I've had a love affair with music all my life, and I honestly couldn't imagine life without it.

It's just for fun for me too, but I take it seriously. While I'd love to do it as a full time gig, there's just not money in the music industry these days without a ton of hustle and/or talent/luck.
