Wednesday the 22nd of May 2024 and what do I want to talk about today? Well, you know somebody the other day said to me that you know one of the things that is great about me is that I seek structure in the work that I do like everything that I do I seek you know I seek for
some sort of rhythm some sort of flow a structure and a routine to the things that I do, which is great. But then at the same time, what that does is that it also
holds me back a little bit because without that structure, there is literally no consistency and no work from me at all. And I do appreciate that feedback to a certain extent. It's just that, I mean, in context, the structure that I have in the back of my mind that I am very clear and very conscious about is the structure that allows anybody and that's anybody at all who doesn't know me who doesn't have any understanding about what I do music wise to gain a perfect insight as to what it
is that I actually do. You see whenever I make a song right when I select an instrumental from whatever platform I may get it from I may get it from YouTube somebody may hand me over an instrumental or somebody may make an instrumental for me whilst I'm in the studio like you know from the minute that I start that process I pick an instrumental I start writing lyrics to it I come up with a message I you know from the minute that I do that I am already experiencing that excitement it's almost like I'm going to the movies and I'm seeing the movie
being premiered before the movie even comes out and so it's like you know I'm getting all the insights I know all the corners all the ins and outs of this specific song and I've experienced joy and excitement I've experienced maybe fear maybe sadness maybe anxiety maybe you know whatever emotion it is that the song will effectively just sell as soon as it's finally released I have all of those contexts and all of those understandings you know within the back of my skull but the
problem is that like you know to anybody who hasn't experienced that to anybody who wasn't in the studio to anybody who didn't write the lyrics to anybody who didn't select the instrumental like again when I present this song to them it's like they have literally no understanding of it so it's like even though the song might be catchy the meaning and the message and all of these exciting exciting things like you know they don't
have that context sold to them as a package which is why I have been you know working head fast if that's even a word it's the reason why I've been working so hard to get this structure in place so that when we do push our you know you know when we do push our music out or when I do push my music out it just comes out it just comes out in a way where somebody has the ability to understand, like you know, they have the tools and the instruments necessary to understand
and that's how you really begin to sell. That's how you sell a song and that's how you build a community around it. That's how you begin to build a world around it. And so yeah, that's basically my today's take on structure.
