disappointed parents

Be a Christian rock band! You get to play music and save lives!

Why not just study music at a Christan college?
No reason you can't fine tune your abilities and your academic understanding of your passion in a context that will make your parents happy. After that you'll be in a better position to play music professionally anyway.

Ay OP Christian Rock is some easy money.

Pick a christian college with a strong music program and lots of international students far away from your parents

Plus its so fucking easy to write music for Christian rock

Tell them it's ridiculous to hold you to an offhand comment you made when you were 8. Holy shit your parents sound nuts.

Tell them that music is what God wants you to do. Be like "I've prayed on it and it is the best way for me to express my love for Jesus"

Make your own money and move the fuck out and bum around bars and clubs playing those blues until you get booed by frenchies who don't actually like good music and then David Bowie offers to have you play in his videos and you hit it big making blues albums and playing with Albert King and Eric Clapton and you eventually die tragically in a helicopter accident, Stevie.

Maybe I'm just a heartless cunt, but I give zero fucks about disappointing my parents unless I'm doing something objectively bad/disappointing.

I'm sorry OP, I can't really relate. All I can say is 'don't give a fuck and do what you want within reason.'

It might also be the fact that you want to start a band and do that. I've been down that road, and it's a lot harder than you'd think, even if you have talent or are genuinely entertaining. There are people who can play guitar or bass or drums like absolute motherfuckers who never get anywhere. Not trying to dissuade you if it's really your dream, but there's a hell of a lot to consider. And you'll likely be dirt poor while you're doing it.

All of these need to be taken into consideration
