Composing, whether it's for Nashville, Pop, Urban, R&B along with Film & TV also gives the individual(s) an opportunity to live a fairly normal life. There are no press junkets, no touring, no demands by the studios or record companies to put a face on the product.
When composing for Film, TV and even advertising, it's generally an 8-5 gig unless you're under an enormous deadline, in which you may have to put in extra hours. Some of the guys I know that score network TV shows are sometimes working almost up until a few hours before air time but those gigs also offer enormous financial rewards.
