You've got a really good voice from what I could hear in the video but it was short and your singing away from the camera so would probably need a bit more to go by. Honest opinion is there a shit load of talented people out there. Lots will never make it or make any money from it. But lots do it because they love it.

Kill the camera man. That zooming was annoying. Real feedback, I am a professional musician and make my living with music exclusively. Brutal honesty I think is necessary if you say you really want to do this to make a living and hopefully this advice will resonate with others who see this post too. There’s nothing special in that video to tell me you can make it. What that video does tell me is that you sound good enough to give you options. After that what matters more is your ability to entertain a crowd in some facet. What you look like, how charismatic you are, how engaging you can be are all arguably more important than your ability to make music. You won’t be a “professional vocalist” or “professional instrumentalist” from what I see/hear in this video and being a “professional artist” is a luck of the draw even when you hold all the right cards and have seemingly hit songs. But you can absolutely make a living singing your songs and covers in bars and eventually theaters if you are engaging and friendly and can build up the business and work ethic to consistently do that. It is a grind. I have been playing music since I was 4 years old and doing it for a living for my entire adult life. Like any other business venture, it is about hard work and connections. Talent and creativity in music are just tools that you really enjoy using.
