I think there are quite a few aspects of a career in music that could be considered a "success" if achieved:

- Money / Fame: This is the obvious one, but it is what a lot of people would define as success. To me, I wouldn't need riches beyond my wildest imagination, only enough to sustain my living and be comfortable. As for fame, I'd like to think the more famous I am the more people could listen to my music, and I would consider that to be a success.

- Knowledge: The Music Industry never stays in one place for too long, so to be "successful" you have to be adaptable and willing to learn new things. I think if you learn something new everyday, you can already consider that to be a success.

- Happiness: A bit of a cliché, but happiness is vital to a successful career (and life). The most successful people prioritise their health and mental wellbeing, so we should all aspire to follow in their footsteps and be the best we can be.

Academic - I should try my best to learn new things and pass the module.

Musical - I would like tol be more comfortable handling a DAW by the end of this module, and I would like to produce and mix 2 full songs.

Professional - Meet the Formative and Summative deadlines, and network some more to build up my industry contacts.

My tracks will probably both come under the "rock" genre, or at least a sub-genre of rock.

At the moment, I'm thinking of doing an original and a cover. I'm not sure yet if the cover will be a direct recreation or I'll put my artistic spin on it.

Knowing me, these 2 tracks will be of completely contrasting styles.

I would work on this solo, with the potential of external help from others on the course (e.g. vocals, drumming etc.)
