The Independent Artist: Talking it Easy with Timmy Rough of German Rock Band, The New Roses

From pub stages to fronting German rock quintet The New Roses, troubadour Timmy Rough hones in on his unfiltered rise, making his mark in the music industry.

Part 1: From Starting Small to International Rock Royalty

From the comfort of his home studio in Germany, Timmy Rough, singer/songwriter and frontman of The New Roses, clicks on a Zoom link. He’s taking a short break from recording the band’s upcoming studio album.

His face appears on screen. He’s unshaven and wearing a cap backwards. He smiles politely, reassuring a music journalist thousands of miles away with his husky accent that she has nothing to worry about — time can run over if need be.

It seems as if two worlds have collided. The music journalist adjusts the screen of her laptop. She’s sitting on a cozy chair in Orange County, Calif., as Rough explains the challenges his band faces when asked if The New Roses plan to tour The States.

The Big Question

“If an American band tours in America, why would [they] take a European band on the road?” he pointed out. “Logistically, it’s so much easier to just take an American band with you or even have local bands open up. That’s what happens a lot of times. You know, they’re playing in Texas, they get a Texas band. If they’re playing in Florida, they get a Florida band.”

Rough thought for a moment.

You can’t just say [to KISS], ‘Hey — when are the US dates?’ because they have big names opening in the US. It’s very difficult to get those slots even when they’re in your own country, you know?

Often, Rough relives unforgettable memories from life on the road in Europe.

“We were very fortunate to open for the Scorpions and KISS,” he said, remembering the experience fondly. “We toured with Black Stone Cherry and Foreigner and all of those guys. Those opening slots are like a currency. It’s like, ‘You owe me one so I put my band on this slot next time’ and stuff like that. Those slots are not just for the best band. It’s not like the biggest potential gets the shot.”

Although a tour in The States isn’t yet in the works, Rough, who enjoys country music and all things Bruce Springsteen, remains hopeful.

“We haven’t planned anything,” he said. “I spend a lot of time in The States, and I’ll be in The States next week for Christmas and New Year’s in Florida. I love the country, I love the people, and I especially love the diversity of the music.”

How youbloom Can Help

Rough is thankful for platforms like youbloom that aim to close geographical barriers, making live music more accessible for all.

“There’s so many of us out there who don’t get the chance to [expose] their music to their main target group,” he admitted. “To have a platform, I suppose, where people that like a certain kind of music can just login and get updates like, ‘Hey, you might like this or you might like that and here’s tickets and here’s the videos and everything so you can find your bands much faster’ is a good idea.”

Rough is optimistic that youbloom will assist The New Roses in reaching fans outside of Europe.

“When people get together and team up for a certain thing, it’s always fantastic,” he said, exuberantly. “Any kind of movement you start is always a good sign of, ‘Hey, we’re still here, rock music still matters, and we still want new artists.’”

Drawing a Parallel

Rough compared youbloom’s mission statement to a similar movement in Europe.

“We have this thing in Europe — they call it The New Wave of Classic Rock. It’s a UK group and they do kind of the same thing,” he shared. “They team up and they have a Facebook page and everything. They just spread the word, and they did this multi-artist kind of record. They put their favorite newcomer bands on it and then they walk around at concerts and hand it out to people so that they can listen to that stuff.

Rough says it isn’t about money.

“They’re not making any profit off of that stuff. They’re doing it for the love of music,” he said.

Part 2: Breaking Barriers: Touring Realities and the Global Rock Scene

Artist Development

These days, Rough admits many record companies are failing at artist development.

“It’s not like, ‘Hey, we got this new artist and we’re gonna spend tons of money on advertising or putting them on the road with big names,” he said. “That’s not happening anymore. The band has to find their own way to get recognized.”

The Creative Landscape

Rough is thankful for additional platforms putting in the time it takes to shift the creative landscape.

“It’s always a great sign to meet people that say, ‘I’m not making any profit. I’m just trying to spread the word. I’m just trying to give people the chance to [hear] bands that I really enjoy and I want people to [experience] the same joy as I do,” he said. “Maybe one of those radio stations or one of those blogs doesn’t make the difference but if you see how many interviews I give when I promote a new record and how many smaller radio stations and platforms I talk to, I’m pretty sure in the end that it makes a difference. If you would take all those components out of the equation, I would say there would be a big chunk missing.”

Human Juke Box

Before signing with independent label, Napalm Records, alongside his New Roses bandmates — drummer Urban Berz, bassist Hardy W. Heart and guitarists Norman Bites and Dizzy Daniels — Rough earned thick skin performing in pubs with an acoustic guitar.

You’re like a living juke box. Sometimes they treat you like a superstar and sometimes they treat you like a thing, like an object.

Rough looked up.

“You learn that it has nothing to do with you,” he said.

By the time Rough formed The New Roses, he had already played 1,000 shows for more intimate audiences.

“You do the same show every night,” he began. “Sometimes it goes great and sometimes it sucks. Sometimes people are nice and sometimes people are rude. Sometimes you make a lot of money and sometimes you make no money at all.”

Part 3: Turning Suboptimal Circumstances into Unforgettable Live Performances

The Elephant in the Room

Rough says performing in pubs taught him how to deal with suboptimal circumstances.

“The best way to deal with suboptimal circumstances is humor,” he said. “We call it, ‘calling out the elephant in the room.’ That’s my strategy always. If we play a show and there’s not a lot of people there, of course the crowd recognizes there’s not a lot of people there.”

Rough reflected on a show The New Roses played in England. An estimated 35 people were in attendance.

“I remember that night,” he said. “I took the acoustic guitar out, unplugged it, and just sat down in the middle of the audience and played it [without an amplifier].”

Rough smiled.

“If you go out and try to pretend that the house is full and you play the same show and do the same moves and do all these things you do when you’re opening for KISS in front of 15,000 or 20,000 people, you make a fool out of yourself,” he admitted. “What I do is I go out and I call out the elephant in the room. I say, ‘Wow — this is very cozy in here tonight. Let’s all get up here on stage. I bet I could fit all the people in the crowd onto the stage.’ What started as a suboptimal circumstance turned out to be something that the audience of that evening will never forget.”

Engaging with Audiences

Rough isn’t shy about having fun on stage, imagining how it must have felt for one special fan.

“I actually danced on stage with the band [that night],” he said, putting himself in her shoes. “It was so cool, and they handled it so well. They were so nice.”

Rough added, “I guess, to move toward the difficulties and call them out and use them as fuel for the show is always, in my experience, better than trying to pretend it’s a fantastic event or maximum audience or whatever. If the lighting is shit, I call it out. If the sound is shit, I call it out. I try to use it as fuel for the show.”

Regardless of whether it’s 35 people or 35,000 people in attendance, Rough cares deeply about his craft.

“You know, of course you try always to win the evening or win the audience, so I don’t wanna come across as someone who doesn’t give a shit,” he confessed. “I care a lot about winning the evening, about winning the audience, making everybody happy and satisfied.”

For Rough, flexibility is the key.

“You have to be open and flexible on how to achieve that goal. You can’t do it with the show itself,” he said. “Maybe something is wrong. Maybe the audience is very small, or the lighting is shit or whatever. You have to find another way. You always have to be open and flexible to make the audience feel special and remember the night as something that was worth the money.”

From Troubled Teen to Sophisticated Songster

Although Rough is a college-educated musician — the saxophone is the first instrument he learned — he says he wasn’t always grounded in his passion for playing music.

“[As a kid], I was always in trouble and I was not going to school,” he said. “Every day, the school called my parents because I wasn’t there or I did something stupid. I was brought home by the cops many times [for doing something]. I never like punched anybody. I was never mean. I was always just an idiot. Never trying to hurt anybody, but always in trouble, silly trouble.”

Discovering music was the turning point for Rough.

“When I discovered music, it was the first time that I was drawn to something, you know? It was like a magnet,” he said. “I didn’t even recognize that I was practicing. It didn’t feel like practicing or learning like, I don’t know, history for the next test in school. It didn’t feel like this. It was like time passed by so fast. It was six hours, seven hours, eight hours of playing the saxophone. I was spending [every day] in my room practicing and playing, listening to records and trying to hear what was being played.”

When asked what he feels is the most overrated quality in a performer, Rough remains skeptical.

“If you’re a Bruce Springsteen kind of guy like me, you know, I’m more [into] street clothes, but I’ve met a lot of people that are more like David Lee Roth and they’re doing a great job,” he said. “They couldn’t do what I do, and I couldn’t do what they do. I wouldn’t say it’s something overrated if you do what you do very [well]. It doesn’t matter what it is if you’re awesome — a great guitar player or a storyteller, a songwriter or whatever. Whatever quality you have, if you take it as far as you can, you have a right to show it to people.”

As for Rough’s superpower on stage, he says it’s his voice. Impressively, the songster has a three to four octave range.

I wouldn’t say I’m a Dave Grohl kind of person. I don’t have [his] presence and I’m not that loud. I’m pretty introverted. I go out on stage, and I try to sing as good as possible.

Rough’s on-stage persona is a package of powerhouse pipes and good, clean fun.

“Art and creativity are presented in many ways and many times, it’s a combination of things,” he said. “It’s the way somebody writes songs and sings the songs, so if you hear a Johnny Cash song, he’s a terrible singer on paper but nobody can sing his songs the way he did. Nobody can sing the Bob Dylan songs the way he sang them. That’s great. It’s a gift to have this. I would argue that Johnny Cash had maybe just one octave of range which is nothing special. People like me or Chris Cornell have like a three to four octave range, [which] is very rare and it can impress people or take them on a journey. If you only have one octave like Johnny Cash, you can still make it, bring people to tears, make them believe your stories or engage in any way with your music. It’s a great gift.”

Rough doesn’t deny the talent that has come from casting shows on television — “American Idol,” “The Voice” and “X Factor” to name a few. He admits, however, that many solid artists in the music industry wouldn’t stand a chance in those formats.

“It’s one thing to have those programs and maybe stumble upon a couple of great musicians — Michael Bublé, Adele or Carrie Underwood or something, but if you were to just depend on that thing only and say that all the other people are not worth taking a look at, I would totally disagree,” he said.

Rough added, “For a lot of artists, it’s the sound, the voice, the look, the story and the song. It’s the whole thing. It’s the whole package.”

Rough paused.

“I think every artist has something to offer and that isn’t always visible at the first glance,” he said, throwing in his two cents.

Part 4: Voice, Vulnerability and the Benchmark for Success

An Album on the Way

As for his personal and professional motto, Rough laughed.

“It can’t be bad to be good,” he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Rough gave die-hard and casual listeners alike insight into The New Roses’ upcoming album.

“So far, it looks like it’s gonna be a little more classic rock than the last one [Attracted to Danger],” he said. “The last one was pretty rough, pretty hard rock and [featured] a lot of distorted guitars and a lot of meaner riffs and stuff. It can still change, but from the material that I have at the moment, I would say it’s a little more classic rock. It’s a little more like the ‘Nothing But Wild’ record.”

Expressing Gratitude

Additionally, Rough and his bandmates are appreciative of their loyal fanbase.

“We appreciate people spending their time with us,” Rough said. “Time is a very valuable thing and to know that right at this moment as we’re talking, somebody is driving in their car or working out in the gym or whatever, having a party at their home, a birthday party or something and they’re listening to our music, [it’s great].”

Rough beamed.

“It’s a great feeling to sit down in my small studio here and write a song and the next thing you know, people from all over the world can say like, ‘Hey! That song was played at my wedding’ or ‘That song was played at [my dad’s funeral]’ or ‘I play this when I drive in the summer and we’re at the lake,’” he said. “I know so many stories from people who say, ‘I did this road trip to Australia and that song was on 24/7! I have so many great memories of that trip when I hear that song.’”

Rough considers how songs not only travel the world, but travel through people.

“You get the song back charged with all these stories,” he said.

When the first chord of “All I Ever Wanted” set sail inside fan Patricia Marie’s eardrum, she knew Rough was a force to be reckoned with.

“I find The New Roses frontman Timmy Rough to have a strong stage presence,” she gushed. “A rock star with a touch of country in his voice. Just enough gravel in his voice to pull you in, whether it’s screaming lyrics or soothing love songs. He’s mesmerizing!”

Rough’s uncanny ability to make sense of his surroundings weaves throughout his music.

“Every headlight tells a story, every face passing me by, there’s a million lights before me and a touch of perfume in the evening sky,” Rough sings. “I brush the shoulder of a young man, I hear a distant slamming door. An old lady’s searching trash cans and I wonder who she was 20 years ago.”

Perhaps it’s the grungy, greasy-haired rock and roll performed inside an antique ballroom with a crystal chandelier — The New Roses music video for “My Kind of Crazy” hailing from the band’s 2022 release, “Sweet Poison.” It begins as Rough swings open cotton candy-colored doors with yellow gold and white trim. Moments later, he’s singing, “The taste of Heaven and danger right upon my lips, I wanna lick a little poison off my fingertips.” He’s wearing a maroon shirt unbuttoned and revealing an array of chains around his neck. No matter what the setting is, his demeanor is calm yet confident.

The Man Behind the Music

Off-stage, Rough is a father of two children.

“I’m a father, which is the most important thing for me,” he said. “I’m not advertising that, but if you [were to] ask me, ‘What defines you?’ I would say, ‘Being my children’s father is the most defining thing for me or the most important thing. I put a lot of energy into improving being a good father, you know?”

Rough is often seen wearing a rosary without a cross around his neck.

“That was a gift from a friend, so it didn’t have a particularly spiritual [meaning] for me, but I’m very interested in many things that widen your horizon,” he said. “From my experience, it kind of narrows the lessons that you can learn if you judge right away whether you believe [something] or not. You can just spend some time with it and listen and think about it and sometimes one thought or the other goes through your conscience and leaves a mark.”

Rough’s punchline statement is strong.

I try to live like I believe. I don’t really question, ‘Do you really believe in some sort of god?’ I think it can’t hurt to assume, pretend so to speak, like, ‘Hey — let’s just assume that we all get judged.’ So, I try not to fuck up and be a good person.

Rough occasionally reflects on Western Christian society.

“I would say all of our fundamental behaviors are based on one book [The Bible],” he said. “It took me a while, but then it crossed my mind and [I thought], ‘Hey, everything you know and what you believe, your whole society that you know is based on that book so you should probably just read it at least one time and find out, ‘What is it? Why is this book so famous and how could it stand the test of time?’ It’s a very interesting book.”

From Your Playlist To Your Living Room: Hosting Your Own Live Music

10-Apr-2020 By Leave a Comment

With an evolving trend of “breaking the convention”, we are always on the cusp of change, where possibilities are boundless. In time to come, the world will witness a scene where you truly go from your music playlist to your living room. Never before has it been so viable for communities to equally contribute towards change and made to feel like everyone involved has a stake in something they value greatly. Music playlists have played a rather integral role in our music listening experience, essentially because of how it impacts the way we choose to perceive our immediate reality. It’s time we go from our playlist to our living room, isn’t it?

Music has the power to bring people together and it all starts with you.

A dire need for us to create our very own social infrastructure in the age of social media is upon us, and music finds its place in being able to enable that need. “Unplugging” is a common trend today – especially in commercial contexts, where the challenge is to take one’s online accumulations into the real world – and what better way to do that as a music fan than to bring the music on your phone to your living room! Hosting music on your premises not only provides your local musicians with a platform but also creates and encourages a close-knit sense of community in your local scene. It not only gives you an opportunity to involve yourself with something you absolutely love but also gives you the power to act as a catalyst for change. Utilizing your space for something as euphoric as live music comes with immeasurable rewards and the satisfaction of having been instrumental in successfully creating a social infrastructure that is tangible.

An interesting fact is that most touring musicians are on the lookout for non-traditional ways to perform, and experts in the music business are more than willing to collaborate with you as a host. As such, potential local hosts such as yourself now have more opportunity than ever to work with industry veterans who can bring their expertise into every aspect of a show, from set up to clean up, leaving you to eventually settle into a more comfortably managerial role. If you’re a local promoter reading this, here’s an interesting read on what our show organisers aka CityReps bring to the table. If your love for music is infectious, it’s your chance to contribute today.

Independent Artists: Internet Helps Bypass Gatekeepers

02-Apr-2020 By 1 Comment

The internet is a sea of opportunities if used optimally, and more so for emerging and independent artists. If you want to scale up and expand your reach, the internet is a great place to help you as an artist to bypass gatekeepers. An emerging culture of music streaming, as opposed to physical sales, has steered this ship in a direction where independent artists can freely carry out their artistic expression on social media platforms to attract an audience. Never before has it been this viable for alternative cultures such as underground music and art to surface and grow without necessarily having to budge for bodies of authority. This blog post will discuss how you as an independent artist can bypass those gatekeepers.

Use Facebook and LinkedIn to find Journalists to Write about your Music

As a matter of interest, magazines and tabloids are in an unrelenting search for new content all the time. All it requires from you is that you make yourself visible to them on social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn. To top it over, owing to the culture of a close-knit community, music journalists and music promoters will often work in conjunction. Not only would journalists write about you, but chances are that they might add you to their recommendation list to promoters. Though you’re busy writing the best music you can, it may be worth finding the time to make yourself heard on these social media platforms.

Follow Promoters on Twitter and Instagram

Promoters spend a lot of time on the internet, start following them TODAY. Start interacting with them, comment on their posts, establish a personal connection. Smart usage of the internet can help you secure gigs.

Send Newsletters to your Fans and Promoters

Newsletterring is a very effective approach to maintain fan exclusivity and retention. The idea behind this exercise is to establish a very personal rapport with all parties involved, where you as an artist show how much you care for your fans. Imagine the sense of suspense and exclusivity that comes with being part of a secret gig around the corner. This sentiment can be created by advertising your show through newsletters to a selected list of your fans.

Use Online Communities to Spread your Music

Online communities are certainly a very crucial part of building online visibility. One of the ways to spread your music on digital platforms is to share your music with fellow musicians, which always creates a room for opportunity. Collaborating with similar artists is a great way to build your repertoire and Facebook’s communities feature makes this much more lucrative. Here’s a full blog post on building an online community of fans.

A Look at Hiring an Artist Manager

09-Apr-2017 By Leave a Comment

Having an artist manager helps in many ways. They help take care of the business part so that the artists can work on the creative part. They have plenty of connections to help you out and push you forward in the industry. You just have to make sure you are ready for one. They usually don’t come cheap and even rarer, come free. You want to make sure that you aren’t just starting out when looking for an artist manager. It won’t be worth spending the little money you have on a manager when there is nothing for them to work with. Make sure to have a few shows behind you and some songs recorded before hiring a manager. It’ll give them a chance to look at what you have and how they feel with you. You want to make sure there is a connection with them and sometimes music is the only connection to start off with. It’ll also help find the right kind of manager to get that will mesh with the music well. They will be able to help you more if they work in with others in your genre.

If you don’t have the money to afford a manager, you can always have a friend help out. You might have a friend who knows some things when it comes to the industry, or at least have enough enthusiasm to look up anything in the industry to help. If they believe in you and enjoy your music, they might be willing to do it for free. Not everyone will do it for free, but they might be cheaper than a well known manager. They will gain experience and you will be able to focus on your music.

If you have the money to hire a manager with connections, it would really help. Make sure to find the right artist manager for you. If you are looking for someone to help more with booking, look for a manager who has connections with venues and promoters. If you want someone to help more with finding labels, look for someone who has connections in that area. Some of these managers might work cheap if they really believe and enjoy your music. It’s not always easy to find, but they are out there.

Once you decide to get a manager, make sure you connect with them. It’s like hiring a new band member. They will most likely be spending a lot of time with you figuring things out, going on tours, recording, etc. Make sure they are someone that you can be honest and open with. The artist and manager need to be open with what they both want and how they can work to help each other. It should never be left to just one side to get things done. Both sides need to be realistic about what the other can do and everyone must be honest with what they can and cannot do at that time.

Looking for managers isn’t always easy. Try asking around at shows. The best ways to find managers is by asking the bands you perform with. Some might already have one and can give you a referral about a great manager or their manager might be able to refer one to you. Other artists will give you honest opinions on the people they work with. Having the artist introduce you to an artist manager will be a great way to start a conversation with a probable manager.

When trying to get the attention of an artist manager, you want to treat them the same way you would a label. Send them music samples, demos, information about yourself/band and music, and anything else you would send to a label. Once you send an email to an artist manager, give them time to respond. You want to give them a little follow up, but you don’t want to be too strong. Give them a week or two before sending a follow up, but make sure to be respectful and not too pushy. If you do get a response, make sure to be respectful, kind, and humanly no matter what the response is from them.

If you find an artist manager that you are willing to work with and who is willing to work with you, make sure to make up a contract. If it’s a friend that you decide to work with, you can all make up your own terms that you mutually agree upon. Talk things out and don’t get angry. If you guys can’t agree on a contract and things you agree with, don’t work together. If it’s with a known manager, they will have lawyers and have more terms that might be better to get legal advice for. Either way, make sure that everything is agreed upon before you sign anything.

An artist manager is great to have to help out. You want to make sure that you are established and know what you want before even looking for a manager. There are so many different types out there and you want to make sure you find the right one for you and your band. Not everyone is going to work for everyone.

Top 10 Home Recording Studio Essentials

28-Jan-2017 By 3 Comments

It is no longer news that having a private home studio is fast becoming a trend in the music industry. That being said, owning a home recording studio has several advantages for prospective song writers, music producers, artiste or composers.

Some of these are:

Quick release of the muse
Easy conversion of ideas into solid work
A stepping stone to a commercial studio

Now that you know how important a home studio is to your career, let’s talk about finding the best Home Recording Studio Essentials.

This list of Home Recording Studio Essentials will include everything you need to create your own economical and effective recording studio that is as close to the real thing as you can get. For starters, pick out a studio design.

A GOOD COMPUTER:

The problem with finding the perfect computer for your home recording studio essentials is that there are so many choices.

This may make it easier:

If you already have a laptop or desktop, you might as well start up with that
If you crave something better and faster, then try buying either a mac or a PC with amazing processing speed
If you desire the best, then opt for a mac desktop and cruise your way to good quality

AN IDEAL DAW:

DAW simply means digital audio workstation.

Once again, the problem of being overwhelmed by the array of DAWs available comes to play. I advise that you explore as much as possible and discover which works best for you.

Some of the popular names in the game of home recording studio essentials are: pro tools, FL studio, able ton, Presonus studio one, cakewalk sonar, propeller head reason, MOTU digital performer, Steinberg Cubase and logic pro

AUDIO INTERFACE

An audio interface performs the function of transmitting music in and out of the computer and is definitely a cornerstone of every list of home recording studio essentials.

MICROPHONE AND ACCESSORIES:

When choosing a mic for your home studio, I will advise that you go for the best possible quality within your budget. That being said, just buy what you can afford. Unless of course, you have plans of making professional use of whatever comes out of that studio.

Also, when purchasing your microphone, you must not forget to add a mic stand and pop filter which I consider absolutely necessary. But that’s just an opinion. Feel free to start small and add to your own home recording studio essentials as your music career grows.

HEADPHONES:

It goes without saying that these are a complete necessity also. An essential headphone for your home studio will be able to isolate other sounds and noises so you can get the full effect of your music. It is important to note that studio headphones are different from regular headphones. Always buy over-the-ear headphones; usually the bigger brands are a good bet.

STUDIO MONITOR:

Studio monitors perform a totally different function from regular speakers. They are built to give you real output while consumer speakers are built to appease the sense of hearing. As with headphones, buying an established brand will keep you happy in your home studio.

MIDI CONTROLLER:

I feel this is also a complete necessity not because I am an instrumentalist but because I have learned from experience that making music without one of these while still very possible can be one hell of a ride. If you are a music aficionado like me, then you very well understand the need for creative freedom. (Well that’s what a midi controller offers you)

VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS AND SOFTWARE PLUGINS:

While some folks might dispute the validity of these things on my list, I feel bold to say their presence is well deserved. Consider the virtual instrument a software version of all musical instruments like drums, keyboards, guitar, etc. The software plugins are used as special effects needed to spice up your recording.

CABLES:

Naturally, when you’re planning your home recording studio essentials, don’t forget to buy the right type of cables to get your new gear actually working! For a starter, you might just need cables for your mic, audio interface and monitors. Specifically, four cables should be a good start.

WORKSTATION:

For professional musicians, your studio is a company and they consider the workstation their office. That means getting a proper desk to accommodate all of your new gear and a comfortable chair that you can sit in for 8 hours or more a day. Don’t over sweat it, but do not neglect it either. A nice and comfortable chair with an efficient desk that maximizes equipment like the computer, midi controller and audio interface should work just fine. If you find it convenient, you might add the studio monitor to the mix but it is not mandatory.

There they are: my ultimate list of home recording studio essentials. With these, you are well on your way to building up your passion and your career. Never become complacent with your home recording studio essentials. Music is a world without barrier and limitation. Always aspire to own your pro studio and gain respect in your field of expertise.
