Careers, Age and Dreams... ๐ญ๐ถ๐
I don't really like talking about my age. Not because I care that much (quite enjoying myself, really! ๐คฃ), but because modern society likes to put us into tiered boxes and then scare the living bejeesus out of us by telling us what's going to happen when we reach a certain age. โณ
I've always ignored these sorts of timelines because, quite frankly, I've always done everything late!
I was approaching 40 when I decided to get into marketing and sales. I was what they called a geriatric mother ๐ถ, and it looks like I'm super late to the next creative party! ๐
But in truth, I think I'm only just finishing a very, very long apprenticeship for a job I didn't even know existed. ๐คฃ
Anyway... I've cleared the decks and am now working on pre-production for something I'm going to release next year under my name, Jan Hellriegel Productions. ๐ฌ๐ถ
Here's the thing...
Not a lot of people know my songs anymore, but strangely enough, they do remember my name. Some young people even think it's a fake name because apparently it's a machine gun in gaming! ๐ฎ๐คฃ
Anyhoo...
The point of this post is that I'm going to be asking for a little help. โค๏ธ
This is going to be a bit of a Number 8 Wire operation. ๐ณ๐ฟ
Why? Because surely, from this little corner of the planet, we can still shoot for the stars? ๐
I have a plan. I've done the work. I have filled a swimming pool with sweat equity. I have an amazing team around me, and now I'm looking for a few more people to come on board.
And first up... I'm looking for singers! ๐ค๐ถ
I'll be announcing what kind of singers I'm looking for very soon, so if you're a singer, know a singer, or know someone who knows a singer (you know how it goes in New Zealand! ๐คฃ), I'd love your help getting the news out there.
๐ Please follow my socials and keep an eye out for the announcement.
๐ Share this post with anyone who might be interested.

And perhaps most importantly, if you've ever thought you were too old, too late, or had missed your chance to do something wonderful...
Don't believe it.
Sometimes it just takes over half a lifetime to get to the starting line. โค๏ธโจ
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
