Happy Saturday Night! Adam here.
Earlier this week I was digging through some notes stored away on my iPhone.
I found some things to be of no surprise, whereas others, such as this one below gave me pause.
This note was written on July 19th, 2016 @ 5:02 PM on a day I imagine I was wrapping up a day of work at my internship.
This was written 6 years ago! At the time I was a 20 year old youngster determined to make his initial forays into music creation.
To be quite honest, I am not even sure if I had a functioning computer with workable music production software..
I definitely did not have a keyboard to generate some initial ideas.
I absolutely did not have an XDJ or for that matter really any DJ equipment.
All I had was a dream.
A dream that was a proverbial escape hatch away from being ācorporate adamā and instead tapping into ācreative adamā.
Since this date - I can say I have transformed my relationship to music where (yes it still remains) an active dream, however, I now have the tools/communities in place where pursuing music now is an actuality.
Next week I am headed to my first festival: FWB Fest. Where Iāll be performing a Sunday afternoon poolside DJ set as BARTYDARTY.
Life moves wicked quick, especially when we donāt take the time to reflect on our previous selves.
Whatās that dream you always come back to? Why have you not pursued it yet?
Cheers to lifelong learning,
Adam Bartley
This is dope
