    Fiko is becoming the voice that every producer wants to hear to feel better about themselves and improve their music. Mark my words, this channel will become increasingly popular and change the mindsets of many producers.

    THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE CRAFT
    YOU'RE AN ARTIST NOT A USED CAR SALESMAN
    MAKE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL NOT VIRAL
    MAKE MUSIC FOR YOU AND THE PEOPLE YOU VALUE
    MONEY AND SUCCESS ARE A CONSEQUENCE, NOT A GOAL
    HAPPINESS COMES FROM FREEDOM.

    FINALLY someone on TH-cam that’s promoting music AND self improvement. It’s so easy to live a detrimental lifestyle as an artist or producer/engineer - especially with how much it gets normalized & popularized in the very music we’re often inspired by.

  • @terrastudios_
    @terrastudios_ ปีที่แล้ว +81

    I like how you mentioned socialization as a healthy free time activity included with the others. Not a lot of self-improvement videos stress the importance of this. Isolation is good in moderation when you need to focus or self-reflect, but we are social creatures and we need to talk to and have fun with others. Of course, as long as you aren't doing anything destructive while hanging out with friends. (i.e. drinking or smoking excessively together) Most of the time, I feel more inspired after a good hang-out sesh. Especially because I'm friends with some musicians as well. Great video!

    Totally agree! I decided in September to really limit my alcohol use, I went 6 weeks sober to tret myself and honestly I completely changed everything... so much more energy, positive, drive, and all of my other u healthy habits started to reduce too... not saying that's the solution for everyone, but as an Irish person it's quite a difficult thing in our culture to overcome. We all have our vices, try to spot it, take control of it and don't allow it to control you

You make people think about things mooooore deeply, this greatly distinguishes you from others. Hope you will get 100k in 2023, you deserve it man, keep it up. I'm talking about your content with friends, they also love your content (who doesn't love?)
    I would also like to see how you usually spend your day. What do you eat, what time do you go to bed, in GYM, maybe also in the vlog format, I think it would be an interesting continuation of this video!
