Let me tell you how I started my career. I want to make it clear that arriving at Fiverr is not a starting point for amateurs but a milestone for serious professionals. Fiverr clients expect the best, so you can't sign up unless you are capable of producing quality work. 

That said, back to my story. I started when I was 13 years old. I began as a folk and country guitarist. I remember the first piece I learned to play was "Bermuda Triangle Exit" by Stephan Grossman. For those who don't know it, here's a link to SoundCloud where you can listen to it for free: 

I used to play for small groups, honestly avoiding large audiences. So, mostly small groups, friends mostly, but the idea that music could become my profession was taking root in me more and more. Playing for these small groups taught me valuable skills such as attention to detail, the importance of practice, and how to engage an audience, no matter the size. These skills became incredibly useful later on as a freelancer. 

After a few years, my father gave me an incredible gift: a Korg M1 keyboard that revolutionized my life. Not only did I begin to combine my knowledge as a guitarist with new skills as a keyboardist, but I also realized the incredible power of sequencing and workstations (the Korg M1 was not just a simple keyboard) and the potential for the future. This new tool helped me understand the technical aspects of music production, which is essential for delivering high-quality work to clients on Fiverr. 

With the Korg M1, I produced my first soundtrack for a video game, a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon), which were very popular at the time. I created the entire soundtrack, from the Title Theme to the battle themes and various locations. This project opened up new horizons for me and taught me how to work on long-term projects, manage time effectively, and communicate with other creatives, all essential skills for a successful freelancing career. 

At that point, I couldn't do anything but register with SIAE (the performance rights organization in Italy, which at the time required two exams to complete the registration) as a composer and author, and be registered with these professional roles. Today, I am registered with the American ASCAP. 

The first piece I registered with SIAE, "New Millennium," had incredible success and quickly climbed the world New Age charts. It was at that moment that I dedicated myself completely to music. This achievement was a testament to my dedication and the importance of continuously learning and improving, which is a key mindset for any professional, especially those on platforms like Fiverr. 

Here is the track "New Millennium" on Spotify: 

Throughout my journey, the skills I developed—from technical proficiency to project management—have been invaluable. They not only shaped me as a musician but also prepared me for the demands of freelancing on Fiverr. For those aspiring to reach such platforms, it's important to remember that continuous learning, dedication, and professionalism are essential.
