In the midst of a creative marathon, the sprint towards the finish line can feel all-consuming. For me, that's been the reality as I hammer out the final chapters of my next book. Picture it: weeks of rewrites, a direction that felt "off" until it was nearly scrapped and started anew.

An artist, composer, and producer, he's the name behind some of the most well-known songs and soundtracks on the planet. But surprisingly enough, all that success with sound has come through silence. In this podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with him to discuss how strategic refrain and thought can... read more ›

The box we're forced to think within as artists is constantly shrinking. It's no secret that society puts certain expectations and limitations on artists, whether it's in terms of subject matter, style, or even success. We're told to stick to what sells, what is marketable and popular. And for the most part, success stories in the art world seem to follow this formula. But not all of them.
