🎶 Reflecting on 22 years of doing what I love... and whew, the math is mind-blowing! 🤯
I started performing when I was 16 years old. Today, at almost 38 I decided to sit down and actually calculate how much time I’ve spent performing.
This is a rough estimate ( could be more, could be less), but if you take a standard baseline of 4 days a week, 4 hours a day since the beginning, it adds up to 18,304 hours. But anyone in this industry knows the baseline doesn't tell the whole story.
Between the double-bookings, high-intensity seasons, and weeks where I was performing nearly every single day, doubling that baseline brings us closer to the real weight of the grind: 36,608 HOURS of performing.
To put that into perspective:
⏱️ That is 1,525 DAYS of continuous, non-stop performance.
🗓️ That equals 4.2 YEARS of being under the lights 24/7, without sleeping, eating, or taking a single break.
💼 A typical full-time office worker clocks about 2,080 hours a year. It would take them nearly 18 YEARS of a regular 9-to-5 job to rack up that much time on the clock!
It’s crazy to see your life’s passion broken down into data. To everyone who has watched a show, booked me for a gig, or clapped along at any point during these 36,000+ hours—thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to the next thousand hours! 🥂✨
