My current activities/ progress towards my professional future, has mostly consisted of working towards the development of my label life is beautiful, continuing my creative practice as a musician recording, and performing, as well as continuing my djing (I have a show on Balamii radio, and a show on LooseFM, which I plan to continue), and djing for artists such as isaiahull (we are playing 3 shows in the next month).
Building an aloisius page for my website for life is beautiful has been a pivotal part of my current progress towards professional futures too, as its allowed me to have my entire discography chronologically displayed and explained, and all my links.
Also applying for grants has definitely been a big part of my progress towards getting where I want to be in terms of professional futures, so keeping an eye out for deadlines and opening/ closing dates of grants has been very vital, and working towards making my applications the best that they can be. I feel that grants are the thing that will really allow me to sustain and develop my practice to be where I want to be, without needing to work most my hours on minimum wage to pay my way through survival.
The internship opportunity with Lex Records is also something ive been working on as I believe that would be a great opportunity and I could learn a lot, I just hope I can balance it with the rest of my ongoing activities and commitments, however I feel that I will be able to, similarly to how I’ve balanced university with these ongoing activities so far.
