I Was Doing Art Wrong

Episode Description from the Publisher

For too many years I had a strong ideas about the kinds of songs I wanted to create and such high standards that I ended up blocking myself off from the flow. My creativity just barely trickled.… a new song every year or two and musical evolution at a snail’s pace, goals piling up without any real progress. Now it kind of seems silly to me. Now I’m taking a new approach to music and art in general, and embracing my lo-fi imperfections. I finally I feel like I love making things, writing songs, jamming, making videos like these and putting my ideas or feelings into words. I may not be Prince but I think I can finally understand the artistic headspace it took for him to be able to write a song a day and for the first time in my life I feel like I am doing what I was meant to do.
