It seems like the music scene is currently made up of many divided groups. There are those who are young and ambitious, completely fresh to the game and unspoiled, who accept everything as it is and create music and content. They bring in new ideas and are insatiable. Great!
Then there are those who remember the time before Covid and before the endless loop of chasing attention on social media, and who are probably conflicted in their views!?!?
Others accept the reality and the changes and try to go with the flow, yet struggle because they are not made for social media or simply despise it.
And there are far too many for whom music and culture have become almost irrelevant. For them, it is mostly about going viral, achieving impressive numbers, and turning art into a job or a source of income. It’s seems like it is more about seeking validation for your ego.
I somehow feel connected to all of these people at some point. I have lived through all of it. On one hand, I feel incredibly inspired and eager to create something new and to connect to people, combine the old with the new. At the same time, I notice that the scene, at least from my perspective, places too little value on music with lasting impact.
In the pursuit of that one moment, songs are increasingly made shorter to fit short clips. Less progression, less songwriting. Even music with a strong foundation, with history and underground culture, is being forced into a pop structure: short, catchy, and as viral as possible.
At the moment, my main focus is my main passion: music production. I love spending time in the studio, creating and working on my craft, on my legacy. This album process is doing me good, and I am excited to share more with you soon.
Do not forget why you started.
Make yourself happy first, not others.
As Rick Rubin said: "In the end you are the only one who has to love it."
