dude, the encouragement you need is from yourself, I have seen that story a million times. I remember when I was about sixteen and playing in a band doing a concert here and there, now Im 29!!!! (yikes) with no band. The biggest thing I learned is do it yourself. Take that talent of yours and get everything down on tape (I mean everything)... You do have the talent (actually IM very inpressed with that song) and I do consider myself a pretty good producer.
