What do you like most/least about the music industry?
Sebastian: The most thing that I like in the music industry is the relationship you build with other persons who are beginners and advanced in there career in music and together with these people you walk through the journey in the music industry. The least thing that I do not like in the music industry is when there are people who tells you that you cannot do it this journey but you need to be strong and do not let other people turn you down.
Michela: Well...Like everything else the music industry has its pros and cons. I’m one of those who love to share experiences with others especially with friends who are in the industry. Although I work hard in silence to achieve my goals, I can’t really say that I’m a competitive person as I am always grateful for the opportunities that come my way. However I have met people in the industry who try to harm others by being over competitive. I am definitely against all this as the music industry should be all about uniting people.

Sebastian: Graduated in my studies of Financial Services and working with one of the local banks. And from the music side I would like to release more singles.
Michela: Well.... Living a peaceful and healthy life surrounded by my family and friends and who knows maybe I’ll have my own family by then I would definitely keep on chasing my dreams!
What personal advice would you give to someone wanting to pursue a career in music?
Sebastian: My advice for those who are or thinking to begin there musical journey is to never giving up, always look forward and the most important thing is to enjoy the journey to the full
Michela: It is not easy at all but rather satisfying, it involves great effort, you’ll meet people who try to put you down but more people who try to lift you up.
Be grateful to those people who support you and genuinely give you good advice! Those are the people who we should always look up to!
Remember that the music industry is not all about competitions but it’s more about enjoying every moment and meet new people.
