Takeaways

1. Music chooses you, if it truly feels is something that you can’t live without, then it’s for you.

2. The way to finish an album is by booking. Deadlines and bookings are the key. The search for perfect will lead to nowhere. Perfect does not exist.

3. If you don’t have a budget to release music at least start with a demo, get full songs ideas complete.

4. The huge part of DIY is bringing people you trust into your creative process and creating that system of accountability.

5. Surrounding yourself with people who know more than you is a huge hack to grow as a musician and even person.

6. Being open to constructive criticism is really important, is hard to grow if you are not willing to accept constructive criticism.

7. Busy does not equal productive.

8. If you feel ideas are not coming you are still being productive. Exercising your creativity is super important as painful as it could be. Journaling, reading, even podcasting can help you feel unstuck with your creativity.

9. Music is a form of self-expression and therapy.  We all have a right to self-expression. We should feel lucky we have music.

Setting weekly/monthly goal and completing tasks is much more beneficial.
