This post is very "me", so I feel I had to post after a long time.

I use to say "I'm an accountant when I account, a writer when I'm writing, a singer when I sing, etc" that's it.

For instance, in music is easier to learn to play any instrument if you had learnt to play any other before.
And playing that new instrument will give your skills and ideas to play the ones you already played.

Sometimes learning to play elec guitar teachs you to sing, etc.
Even at work they say I'm "multifaceted". or "you're a bit of a philosopher" and I said "all the musicians are a bit philosopher... I mean one things help the other.

And in these days you've got to know about a lot of things if you want to sail in any project.

If you want to be a pro musician you've got to learn to be a bit(at last) of a:

-Music composer
-Lyricist/Poet
-Singer
-Instrument Player
-Recording producer
-Arranger
-Promoter/Manager
-Web Designer
-Model
-Blogger
-Public Relationships man
etc.

at least before being a pro, these days it's like that. And if you look at music legends they didn't know how to do that in the past but now they do, so they blog, are producer, manager, desing their web, etc.
