I-Banker turned professional musician...
So, I used to work for Merrill as a banker, and finally got up the courage to quit and do what I've always wanted to do, play music for a living. Everybody in the office thought I was crazy, particularly since I left right when we were coming out of a downturn...
Well, I did it, and I recorded what I think is a fantastic album with some great backing musicians (who played with John Mayer, Bruce Hornsby, Jason Mraz). My web site, my story and music are at http://www.briankingston.com
I know many of you have dreamed of taking the plunge and leaving the business for more creative pursuits. I think if you go to the web site and purchase a copy of my CD, I think you will not only enjoy it, but I think it will bring you good life Karma in helping keep an ex-banker 'off the Street', so to speak. :)
So, please pass this along to a few of your banking colleagues who dream of greener pastures. THANKS!

Could I ask how long you had been a banker for? Did you only make the move after you had accumulated enough wealth to support yourself to start up your music career?
A 5-year bump has to be the record on this site.
Sounds like you made a smart decision. But couldn't you have just played in your free time? Nice story though, im sure some people will buy it. Do you go on lawyer and doctor message boards and post the same thing? I bet you do
Nice story. I wish you the best.
Wondering how this went tbh
