I am a girl 16 and live in a town where you can see the border of mexico. I have been playing guitar for three years and feel I have what it takes to go out there and make my career as an artist happen. Am I stuck in lil girl fantasies or should I get emancipated and go for it.
To be honest, I would first finish High School and graduate. You don't wanna be a high school drop out. And it isn't exactly a lil girl fantasy, because some people do make it, but you should have a back up if you dont, and its harder to et into high school again than it is to start university when you're a bit older. Just have a serious talk with your parents and also consider home schooling if you drop out now for if you don't make it, or during some holiday, see an agent and ask them if you think you can make it. Basically don't rush into it without having a plan b, because most of the time it doesn't quite work out, or you could be a one hit wonder but end up not being able to live off it for the rest of your life. Good luck!!
You're not stuck in lil girl fantasies, but the music business is about more than just being a great musician. You have to have excellent business skills to survive. Since you are thinking about getting emancipated, I'm assuming that your family isn't very supportive about you being a musician. That is not good. You definitely need to find people who are supportive and can help you get where you want to be in your career. I think you should spend the next two years finishing up high school, saving up money, talking to local musicians, and researching the music business. If you do this and don't become successful in the music field, at least you can go to college and study music there.
