There's a truth in the saying "You are what you eat" and it also applies to what we surround ourseves with. If we surround ourselves with negative influences, then our energy drops and our limiting beliefs will start to form and be reinforced and life of music becomes a real struggle but… If we surround ourselves with positive influences, we feel inspired and we feel empowered to chase down our go...

As music producers we put a lot of personal value in the music that we create, but should we let it define us? Definitely not! This can be a dangerous game because when we do this, we get hurt by our own or someone else's opinion of our music. This can then lead us to avoiding writing music because we don't want to hurt ourselves any further. I see this scenario holding back a lot of music produce...

PERFECTIONISM! We've all at one point suffered from this belief that everything we need to do and put out in the world needs to be perfect. So we say things like: "I don't want to put this out there because it's not perfect." "This track is still missing something so I need to keep working on it." "Everything is great but I think the drums can be better." STOP! It doesn't. It's just perfectionism...

"I'm the person who does this…" "I'm the person who does X everyday…" "I'm an X and that is who I am…" We've all said this before.

Change is difficult for everyone but it's most difficult when we're trying to change something that we've been holding onto beca...

Last year I recorded this episode and it became the most popular and the most impactful episode I ever recorded, it's incredible how inspirational 'light bulb' moments arrive at the most unexpected times!

Wake up. Music. Work. Sleep. Repeat. Does this seem familiar? With everything going on in our lives, it's easy to fall into a trance and lose clarity on what we are trying to achieve day to day. Sometimes the best thing we can do is take a step back and take time to reflect on our progress, reset and go back at it again with a clear head. Having a source of 'white space' is essential for gaining t...
