I've seen you bring up the importance of having "creative freedom" several times here on this site. Do you ever feel like your creative freedom is restricted in any way right now (or has been in the past)? Or is it more that you're afraid  it'd be restricted if you were to get more involved in the business side of music (signing to a label, working on projects for other people/companies, etc)?
if you are not working for anyone else, then you usually do have creative freedom. but it is easy to forget
