Discussion I’m thinking about quitting music

I’m thinking about quitting music bc I’m not qualified my voice is too deep for the style I like and anytime I try to make a song that’s not a replica of an artist I like or that’s not a ballad I always just sound like some cringey 2010s nonsense I started out on bandlab and type beats with different influences than I do now my influences went from lil tecca and juice world to twenty one pilots and Olivia Rodrigo I love music so much, without music i wouldn’t be here prolly lol but I want to be that for someone else I hate just sitting from the sidelines watching people live my dream i want to be that person on stage and i want to be to someone else what twenty one pilots is to me but it’s so hard i have only one song im making im satisfied with and every time i try to record it’s always “one of those days” for my voice if I don’t make it im gonna be stuck to a 9-5 and I can’t live that way idk why im making this post i guess just to see if anyone else out there feels the same or encouragement idk but I need an answer

Then you might need to adjust your style!! If your voice doesn't fit the exact style you want, maybe that style doesn't suit it.

There are so many genres and ideas you can test out. You can "tweak" the style you love with by merging a completely different style/genre that suits lower voices like your own!

If your voice doesn't suit cookie-cutter styles, then YOU GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

Experiment, try different things, see what happens. Don't box yourself in if the box is not you-shaped
