    We all go through these self doubt experiences and it's pretty hard. So I just wanted to show my perspective on this topic and hope it helps you :)
    Thank you for all the support so far and let's grow this strong community of like minded producers ♥ Spread the word.

    this morning i decided to quit music, too much negative thoughts about it were ruining my everyday mood, i took all my keyboards, the mic and all the stuff i used to do music, and throw it away. then i opened youtube after 5/6 hours of no-stop crying and this was the first video i saw, you made my day. i took back all the stuff and placed it back in place, i was 17years old when i started making music, now im 23, you saved the 6 years of my life that i spent on music, i can say thank you but you will never understand how much you've done for me with just one video. you're not just a great musician, you're a great person

      You can throw all your instruments and gear away. You can stop singing,practicing and playing. But,you can not throw the music or musician that is inside of you away,nor can you stop it. Whether you make it your livelihood,or just use it for personal peace,fun or enjoyment,or all the preceding,does not matter. What does matter,is that you acquired all that gear and more in the future for one reason and purpose. And that reason and purpose is to have the ability to express yourself in your own way through these tools. If you sing,then you are going to have an even harder time trying to throw away your instruments. 😁

    This hits deep, plenty days i went to bed crying saying “my music is not good” or “i’ll never be good at” “i hate my voice” even though i never met a single person who said that my music was bad and lots of people said that it helps em alot, i still feel like its not good enough, or that they lying, and it sucks to be stuck with that feeling 😢

  • @brandonchambers412
    @brandonchambers412 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I used to suffer with bad mental health revolving around music and eventually I actually quit and took a good 2/3 years off and found out that even after quitting I still felt shit because I let myself quit and am actually trying to push myself to make music again just because I enjoy it. Don’t quit people it doesn’t make you feel better it legit makes you feel even worse 😂

  • @Gabriel.A.L.
    @Gabriel.A.L. ปีที่แล้ว +8

    There is some truth in here. For me its after 20 years of performing live still so hard to be happy with my performance. I feel a lot of shame. Imposter syndrome at its best.
    I heard someone say: you dont even have to believe in you or your music, just do the work.
    Figuring out what "the work" is, finding your weeknesses and then working on these things as much as you can is such a pain, but it will make you better, much better.

  • @iceboxyt
    @iceboxyt ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think having a good reason for making music helps to have a strong foundation. Even if my music is trash, I’m still going to create. If I don’t get this negative BS out of my head, it just festers and rots me from the inside. Regardless of the end quality, I make music because it cleans my mind and helps me be more present with my family

  • @dieselclockwork
    @dieselclockwork ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Needed to hear this. Really resonated with a lot of the thoughts I have everyday. Music consumes my life, I'd love nothing more than to work the rest of my life making a living from music. However, with such a small fanbase and limited capital, I know I may never get that opportunity - and that's okay. It's a bummer but I will still make music regardless if it's my job or a hobby. Its truly one of the most beautiful things we as humans created. Music is love.

  • @Levelheaded_Music
    @Levelheaded_Music ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I'm going through this right now with my music. You are your own worst enemy. Everybody is. I only just started to learn singing while strumming my guitar two months ago and I've already written three songs. Some people may think my stuff kind of sucks right now, but I don't care, because I'm learning. Everybody starts at the beginning. We can't move forward if we don't try. Everybody, keep moving forward. Produce stuff for yourself. That's the key. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

    @AJBuddha ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you’re music isn’t good enough then keep making music & keep pushing yourself to become better at making music & it’s good to take breaks but never give up. You can do anything if you truly believe that you have the capability to achieve your goal
    You’ll never succeed if you believe you are unable to succeed. Having a positive mindset is a huge part of improving in any area but especially music / art/ creativity

    @ackzz ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You make music because you enjoy doing it, it’s yours and you own it. Don’t look or compare with other artists, stay off social media, it will mess you up. If you really like producing music you would be doing it anyways whether you distributed to streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music etc. or not so just keep doing it. There is too much information on the web telling you what you need, how to do it, so many rules to follow and yes it does work sometimes but, everyone is different so do your own thing what ever works for you and enjoy it whether your famous or not - cheers!

    Thank you for this video man!! Really resonate a lot with your approach to the mindset of music production, which I think definitely benefits of developing a mindful and self aware perspective such as yours. I love journaling and exercise myself, and can definitely say that both of these habits keep me grounded and balanced in this age of constant distraction and social media comparison.
