I'll reply, then read the thread. I wonder how many other people say:
"I'm not a musician per-se, but a lover of music who likes to express their thoughts and feelings through the one single-most constant throughout my life.
Music is everything to me; it only follows logically that it'd become my main interest as far as creating goes."

Sorry, was that too serious?

I haven't read the thread, because I really don't have time....too busy creating!

"Why am I a Musician"....you might as well ask:

"Why do I eat...Why do I breathe...Why do I take a crap every day"

Because I have no choice, because otherwise I would die, because it feels good to get this stuff out of my system.

Sorry if that sounds crass or trite. It's 100% truthful!

It's either that or a killing spree.

I could fart in tune while still in diapers, and my parents soon realized they could profit from such a prodigy.
On one of my many talk show appearances during this time...I believe it was Jack Parr...he gave me a harmonica hoping that it would keep my hands occupied while the show was being broadcast, since I had a propensity to "dig and scratch" due to the excessive chafing from my natural talent. Fortunately, the irritation that resulted from my well tuned bilabial fricatives left me no choice. I placed the harmonica in my mouth in order to free my toddler hands for a soothing crack rub. My sigh of relief was great enough to produce a note from the harmonica.
The rest is history.

For a serious answer,
It's all I ever wanted to be since the beginning of my memories. I can't explain why and I'll never know the answer.
There's no family history of musicians, but my parents did indulge my fascination up to a point.
I guess I was pretty much born with it, if that's possible.
Now all I have to do is carry the weight from not acting upon it and making it my primary source of life.

because music is my second language and i'm the creative type of guy, so it's not enough to make love with others' music, i have to pull it off my little jack.

when i was a kid i was compared to other kids and i have always been accused for not being able to accomplish anything....here i am making my music prooving the world wrong...so its pretty much my f**ked up child hood and my seemless effort of trying to be unique

I suppose I just have a need to create. It's that feeling "hey, this is all mine, I did it". When we leave this world at least we can look back and say "I did something unique. Nobody else created this exact piece of music". Feels good somehow.

Because it's fun, easy, and an outlet.

Ahh, how I admire your positive attitude...

Why are you a musician?
