I spent 15 years trying to make it in the music industry. When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio. I knocked at managers’ doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On. It was a song about never giving up. I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard.
我花了15年的时间试图在音乐行业取得成功。当我十几岁的时候,我做任何零工来腾出时间在录音室。我敲开经理们的门,发出了演示(录音样带) 演示后,但我一无所获。2010年,27岁的我在一家餐馆工作,写了一首歌叫《梦想继续》,这首歌是关于永不放弃的。我只是在键盘上发泄了我所有的沮丧。
Over the next five years, the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then, in 2019,I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. 1 just wanted someone to notice my music.
在接下来的五年里,音乐事业从未实现,但我坚持了下来。然后,在2019年,我上传的 Dream Goes On上了一个音乐分享网站。我只是想让别人注意到我的音乐。
Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song. They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows. 1 was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away. 1 was pretty excited, but didn’t think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant.
那年晚些时候,我突然收到了来自韩国音乐世界的一封电子邮件,要求获得这首歌的许可证。他们从音乐分享网站上的数百万人中选择了我的歌曲作为他们一个节目的主题曲。我很惊讶,就以5000美元的价格谈判了一份使用这首歌的合同,并立即签约。我很兴奋,但没想到会有什么结果,所以我把注意力集中在餐厅的工作上。
This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival. I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people. It was amazing.
今年2月,音乐世界在首尔举办了一个音乐节,我的歌曲《Dream Goes On》也被选为音乐节的主题曲。我在YouTube上观看了我的歌曲向一大群人播放的过程。太神奇了。
After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I’d like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert. They flew me out there the next day. I was welcomed like a celebrity - everyone I met thought I was a big name in England. 1 had to break the news to them that I wasn't a pop star.
音乐节三天后,音乐世界联系了我,他们问我是否愿意去首尔演唱会《Dream Goes On》。第二天他们把我送到那里。我像名人一样受到欢迎——我遇到的每个人都认为我是英国的大人物。我不得不告诉他们我不是流行歌星。
