Can you justify it? Yes. If you want to make it, that's justification enough. Of course, if you start talking financial justification, that's a different matter...it would be better if you stayed away from that area of thought entirely, though, as music and money don't tend to mix too well.
Music is and art and not entertainment...I'd say that art is a form of entertainment. It's a very highly regarded form of entertainment, of course, but I'd say that in the end it's created for enjoyment - we can't eat art, use it for shelter or anything like that (well, in some cases that's not true - art can be incorporated into things which can be eaten and sheltered under, but it doesn't have to be there - an artistically created piece of food holds no better nutritional value than a set of raw ingredients, it's just that we may enjoy it more). It's something to entertain the mind and the emotions...and of course it may communicate something as well (you could argue that the communication part is something additional to it being purely entertaining...there'd be a counter to that, but this could end up being a looooong discussion...I guess I've partly opened the can of worms already here, but at the moment I'd rather not let them roam too freely across the floor...). That's not to say that art isn't useful, of course, far from it. I'd imagine that everyone here know what art can do for people...
Anyway, keep chasing your dreams, and do it the way you want - your happiness is what's most important at the end of the day.
