you have to have an additional part of your kit that makes you different from other
producers or skaters.

my abilities to work hard at the things I love and my ability to learn at a fast pace.

this kind of life?
I need to develop a better musical ear. This means the ability to make drum patterns
and melodies mesh together without sounding cluttered. I also need to develop
better social skills to allow me to interact with others better on a business and
personal level.
