I’ve gotten so much great advice from so many people that it seems like it’s endless but the advice that has best resonated with me has been.
-
never try to sell people music you wouldn’t buy yourself
-
think about your favorite song, album, or whatever and try to create something that makes you feel as good as that
-
don’t listen to anyone/ update: iow be yourself
-
if you really listen to a song it will tell you what it needs next and if you play it and then mute it , when muted you will hear what’s missing
the first two were given to me by the same person and #1 is the one I resonate with the most…
music creation is always like an high wire act for me because I don’t come from the especially creative end of the spectrum, I only write music that I’m already hearing so it’s always a race to get it down before it’s gone forever.
