I've seen too many artists fail before they give themselves a chance to succeed. I've seen not enough artists take a chance because they're too afraid to fail. I know too many songs that sound like another. I will never have enough years left in my life to hear more music that makes me feel something real.

You're more than likely sitting on your best track. Right now. Somewhere deep in your hard drive labelled "Untitled Demo Version 5". It's not bad. What you might have is "Demo-itis". Where you've heard your own track over & over & over so many times that you feel uninspired, can't hear it another way & ultimately abandon it.

The most successful artists in the industry DON'T do it alone. They lean HEAVILY on their teams so they can focus solely on the part that they LOVE. Why are you so different? Why do you need to do it all on your own? Is it really weak to ask for help?

If any of you feel like this, I can relate. I've been there countless times but, I'm also here to tell you that you're not alone. Send your "awful" demo to me & let me change your mind. Let's reimagine your sound, let's reignite the joy you once had. Let's bring life to something that was all but forgotten. What's holding you back?

8x things I literally couldn't do without in the studio: 🎧

CUSTOM PC:
After working solely on a laptop for years, the boost in processing sped up my workflow x10 + saved me alot of headaches 😮‍💨 Def worth the purchase but hurt the bank acc. at the time 🫰

YAMAHA CLAVINOVA:
100's of authentic onboard instruments, downloadable content including full songs, arrangements & drum tracks + the feel of a real piano cannot be replaced 🎹

MACKIE BIG K**B 😏 STUDIO AUDIO INTERFACE:
Easily the best value for money audio interface on the market (imo). I struggled with external recording noise for the longest time after changing microphones, cables, programs, settings, PC's, etc. - the solution that fixed it all = 1x GOOD INTERFACE (not USB powered) 🎛️

TASCAM TA-1VP:
No latency, live autotune with inbuilt compression, EQ, Gate Reduction, Mic & Room Modelling. The first big purchase that REALLY up'd my game. Would not be where I am without it! 🎚️

NOVATION LAUNCHKEY 49 MIDI KEYBOARD:
Drum pads, very cost effective, full playable scales, modulation wheels, mixing rack. Cannot rate this highly enough, and I've used DOZENS of MIDI's 🎹

(GOLD) KRK ROKIT 12 SPEAKERS:
Honestly, not the "best" speakers on the market but somewhat cost effective for audio quality. They look sick & have been super reliable for me in multiple situations 🔊

RODE NT-1 MICROPHONE:
Very reliable condenser microphone + got it on a great sale that included sound deadening chamber + mic stand. Definitely beats a USB mic 🎤

BROKEN CABLES:
Literally can't go without it, no matter how hard I try. Literally can't avoid. Would go back again. 10/10 🔌

Things I learned since becoming a Dad while pursuing music full-time 🎧

1. Everything you do becomes WAY more important. Your values get completely re-aligned. If you say you want to do something, you HAVE to do it. Your her role model now. It's not your legacy anymore, it's the stories you're going to tell her growing up. If you want her to chase her dreams, you have to show her how first. ✨

2. I have the PLEASURE of showing her all the music that once inspried me. She will get to experience it brand-new like I once did. And that, is magic 💫

3. Every moment no matter how small can become a core memory for her. You don't get to decide which ones, but you can make the effort to make the ordinary extraordinary. 🌠

4. Travelling has always been the norm for me growing up. But now, I can share all these new experiences WITH her. It has ignited a new-found desire inside me to work even harder to make it her new normal too 🧳

5. You're never too cool to try something and FAIL. When she falls down, I'll pick her up and tell her to try again every time. So it's my job to give her the resillience and courage to try. 🙂‍↕️
