House Music

One of our changes in life lately has been Brady's decision to pursue a long time dream of becoming a "house dj." House is basically "dance" music, (an easy definition for the lame man.) House DJ's use a variety of music from their own library and mix the music together to create their own original music. House has become very popular over the last few years. Brady attended his first House concert in Miami about 4 years ago, but it's been around for a lot longer than that. It's recently becoming more main stream with artists such as Brittany Spears, Black Eyed Peas, and Lady GaGa adding House Dj's to their acts.

Brady has been mixing as a hobby for about 4 years, and has Dj'd for friends at local parties and get-together's, but in the last few months has decided to really pursue it. I have had a hard time getting behind him on this due to what I thought was the obvious reason, the environment he has to be in to get this thing going. Like any musician you have to start at the bottom, playing local bars and nightclubs to make a name for yourself.

We have had many conversations where I have had to really take a look at myself and where my issues where coming from. I know how much he wants this, but I also know he is telling me the truth when he says that if I can't stand behind him, he won't do it.

I had a conversation with a friend the other day about this whole thing, and really tried to figure out my issues. I know Brady would never cheat on me, I know that he has a testimony of the gospel and the word of wisdom, and would never do anything to jeopardize our life together or our eternal family, so where is all this fear coming from and what am I really afraid of?

Here's what I have found out.

I am afraid of is the way people perceive this. I am afraid to discuss this with our LDS friends and family for fear of the judgements they may make.

Hmmm... Time to get over that fear, and just put it out there.

I am excited for him. I am so glad he has found something he truly LOVES to do, and has the potential to make money doing it. I am SO thankful to his sister and brother-in-law, and their support and help in introducing him into their circle, which will allow this to happen much faster than he could do it on his own.

So now- it is out there... My husband is Burning Yang, an up and coming House DJ, and I am so proud of him and excited for whatever the future holds for us.
