Ever felt like your own harshest critic, especially after pouring your heart into a creative project? My good friend and Producer Deyson Thiara stopped by for a chat discussing what it means to truly celebrate your musical achievements, even when imposter syndrome screams otherwise.

Key Takeaways From Our Conversation:

  • We navigate the complex emotions artists encounter post-production

  • How to start acknowledging your wins

  • The power of positive, affirming language whether you're in the studio or on stage

As musicians and producers, we often find ourselves in the thrall of technical wizardry, and there's an art to merging sound with visuals that can amplify the narrative of an artist's identity. Learn how from one of the best in the game in today's show.

Under The Radar: Secrets To Success For The Independent Musician
In a recent study, 73% of independent musicians reported having experienced mental health issues.
Traditionally, the Rockstar Lifestyle was all about sex, drugs and rock n' roll, right? Well, with that kind of lifestyle comes a lack of energy, focus, motivation and drive. Injuries occur, we become addicted to substances, experience anxiety, and depression and as a result, our relationships suffer and we end up resenting the thing we were born to do: make music.
Sound familiar?
Your poor lifestyle choices are killing you, literally and you're the only one stopping you from achieving your dream of being a successful musician. Time for a change, wouldn't you say? Learn from industry pros and musicians just like you how to make better business decisions, eat clean, move intentionally, and develop a performance mindset so you start to see success both on and off the stage.
This is the Musician Wellness information station and the only podcast on the planet creating Rockstars, one musician at a time. Our goal is to uncover the best-kept secrets of success and make them accessible to you, the independent musician.
