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

Yeah this isn't the answer. There are bedroom producers creating hits out there. Anyone can record these days, you don't need thousands of dollars of equipment. This is a lame take.

I guarantee you don't sound like your favorite artist lol, downvote me all you want.

I'm not trying to sound like my favorite artist, I'm trying to sound like me. And nowhere did I say I was trying to sound like anyone. I guess you can't read. There are plenty of hit records over the past couple decades that were recorded in bedrooms for next to nothing.

Didn't ask what you were trying to sound like. I simply stated you don't sound like your favorite artist.
