Answer 1

Being a musician or singer means performing in places like concert halls, churches, and clubs, recording in studios, and often traveling for gigs. Schedules are usually irregular with rehearsals and shows day or night, and many musicians are self-employed or work part-time so they sometimes need another job to pay the bills.
