How do you define a pro musician? I used to say it’s about how much money someone makes. But I’ve had to revise my definition over the years—for obvious reasons (if you know me well).
It’s about being consistent.
Read this blog post from Benjie over at Backthird Audio to find out what he says (and I agree, in part):

By the way, if you’re a musician or engineer, I highly recommend you subscribe to his blog. It’s good stuff.
Do you think Benjie is right? What do you think are the top five characteristics that define a pro musician?
