#1 - The Journey Begins, Becoming a Freelancer
My name is Ragnhild Wesenberg and I am a cellist and freelancing musician. -Or so I'd like to call myself, you see- It was only to months ago that I quit my regular job (which was to clean flats) and decided to spend my time and energy on anything related to becoming a freelance cellist. This has really exploded into a whole new world for me; it turns out that there are thousands of things that are related to this career, and I have become incredibly fascinated by all of these things and I want to share this journey with others who are in a similar situation. I've been diving into various topics, and going through this process myself made me suddenly incredibly curious about how other musicians have experienced this in their own way, how they found their path, which income streams they have, which challenges they've faced, which lessons they've learned, how they structure their days, if they have time to actually play their instrument, how they view the value or lack thereof of social media, and good old existential questions like what it means to be a musician, and aren't all humans musicians?
