Musician

A musician is someone who plays a musical instrument, sings, or composes music, either as a solo performer or as part of a group or orchestra. Musicians may perform live at concerts, gigs, and festivals, record music in studios, or compose soundtracks for film, TV, and games. The profession is highly creative and often involves irregular hours, travel, and networking to find performance opportunities. While some musicians gain fame and commercial success, many work behind the scenes or teach music to supplement their income. Building a career as a musician usually requires dedication, resilience, and continuous practice to develop skills and maintain a portfolio.
