    Thank you for this super cool video which is great inspiration for any artist who's lost momentum or drive or is weak in any of these rules.
    What a gift he had, and what a gift he gave us! It's sad that his over-exertion (stage antics) caused the physical pain which took him down way too young.

    I’ve been planning on producing my own album since I was 20. I have 15 full songs in my head: guitar parts, bass lines, drum fills, synths, percussions, strings, cello, oboe, clarinets, high distortion, fuzz, metal, funk, acoustic, sax, tubular bells. Everything has been in my head for years. Different situations have pushed me away from getting my own band and recording. A few weeks ago I said “f*ck it” andd decided to do it myself, completely, using DAWs, and playing all instruments I can myself. I know I’m not Prince but I won’t wait to be 80 to start complaining about not accomplishing my dreams.

With the way the internet has given us small timers a shot at putting out our own music without having to deal with record labels, I’ve been considering doing the same thing you’re doing. I have an MPC Live 2 with a number of the plugins and expansions, I have Logic Pro X and a considerable amount of VSTs, and I have Ableton (though I don’t really use it), as well as Pro Tools and Melodyne. I might as well make something to put on Bandcamp and streaming even if it’s just to say I put some music out. I wish you success with your endeavors and I hope to get my stuff out as well. Not only do we share the same mission but we also share the same last name, lol.

    I like this because - well one: it's accurate and two: they're not talking about Prince as "a genius".
    They're talking about his work ethic, which was basically second to none.
    It's true that he would work non-stop for 3 or 4 days with no sleep, crash out then wake up and do it again. You'd have to learn every song he regularly played, rehearse for a show, do the show, then do an aftershow.
    And he'd do things like wait until you'd memorised everything, and change it at the last minute.
    He was basically horrible to work for :D and he could be quite a nasty, manipulative shit until later in his life when he became more religious.
    The music is only one side of Prince as well, you had the choreography, the media releases, the fashion, the implementation of new technology (the first video I watched on my PC was a Prince video, "Interactive" I think - from a CD on a magazine cover. And he was the first major artist to sell his own music on the internet - but distribution was a problem (Crystal Ball CD).
    Then there was the legal and business side of things, he got out of his atrocious recording contract with Warner Brothers, and still managed to survive whilst running a multi-million dollar recording complex: Paisley Park.
    The man was a fucking beast.
    I mean...................... came from nothing, worked harder than everybody, was better than everybody, never let anybody put him down, didn't crumble under mockery or critisism..... was altruistic (donated money to charities under the condition they didn't tell anybody).
    Then he had a quite tragic personal life - with all of the normal things that will happen to people, and that are traumatic.
    I really don't think there are many people in the history of the world, that compare to him. James Brown did............. he had recording companies and all that, he worked hard.
    I like the comparison to Mozart, I think that's fair and accurate - a person of extraordinary ability, output and clearly outstanding, in their chosen field.
    Maybe somebody in the Roman Empire, would out do his work rate............. maybe..... Michalangelo in the art world.......... Tesla in science.........
    But Prince, in music.
    And he was funny, too.
    Man, I loved him.

      If you read or hear what past members of his band say about him, James Brown was nothing like this. He was no composer, he basically put everybody else at hard work and then claimed credit for their ideas. Great performer and dancer, really passionate and hard working, with an ego the size of the northern hemisphere, but nowhere near as creative as Prince.

    Prince is my favorite musical artist. This video is inspiring in many ways but I can't help but point out that Prince died at the young age of 57 from an overdose, addicted to opiates to address pain related to work-related injuries (and other deeper wounds). He left no will, with no spouse or children, and his estate was left in disarray and went to his sister and 5 half-siblings. Perhaps we could point out the perils of workaholism at the same time we cherish his productivity and artistry.

    I will say, while the constant drive to produce (which is also work) is impressive, Prince died at a young age, and in a way that feels aligned to a state of overworking / constantly performing.
    Also, putting a bed in a studio doesn't mean you value sleep, it is an act of overworking. In Hong Kong, people bring sleeping bags to the office, and I wouldn't say that means they value sleep.

      Nah, the whole "candle burns twice as bright burns half as long" thing doesn't apply to humans, we are organic beings with self regenerating capacity, all we need is energy to heal. I can list off tons of prolific artists who lived to their 80s and 90s. an artist cannot overwork, because he/she is working for themselves, that's very different from someone overworking for another person, this creates a different stress profile that will definitely slowly kill you.
      There's a huge difference between forcing yourself to work hard and hustle to meet the expectations of others, versus just flowing in perpetual creativity for no purpose other then to enjoy life.

    Finding videos like this is always so refreshing. Lesson 3: "Abandon Perfectionism" ("stop trying to be a perfectionist!") resonates with me the most because I'm an artist who records all my records using an app (Bandlab) and there's always this pressure to overly produce my music and use autotune on my voice just because everyone else does it. I, since a kid, have always recorded using the old-school method "keep doing it til you get it right," rather than go the easy way and fix any mistakes using autotune (again, something everyone else does). I always loved this about Prince and even Micheal. 4:18 - 4:22 is beautifully said: "prince knew that leaving the mistakes in was also leaving the emotions in," and I love how they described his songs as "a sneeze," meaning it lands however it does and he keeps it. I personally overthink and work hard to correct my mistakes during sessions but I still find this inspirational cause, again, I've never been into using autotune or overly producing any of my songs. This also tells me I need to embrace and love ALL parts/textures/tones of my voice and not just one. Raw vocals and sparse production are what make songs classics🗣💯‼️😌

    Prince was a totally and completely mentally and creatively connected being that took the form of a male while embracing the female energy as well and was funneling music through his existence effortlessly without resistance. I believe he embodies what a true creative is and he is one of many. Long live the little guy, the purple conduit to the universe!

    I've left my corporate job, and did a challenge to overcome my overthinking to finish an EP in 45 days and it went viral. I've finished the challenge, came up with 8 songs, filtered them down to 6 tracks, and the EP will be release next Friday on all streaming platforms.
    Now after watching this video, Prince motivated me to finish an album in 10 days. So on to the next challenge we go.
    This will be only 10 days from my life, but i'll remember them forever.

      I like that!
      Sounds like Prince- as described by his Peggy, and Susan Rogers 2 of his former recording engineers,- was a hyper creative. His head was constantly flowing with ideas and concepts for his music. So to get them out of his head and put them in a recorded song format, he had no time to overthink amd rework stuff, he wasn't like a Steely Dan, who would spend all day retwerking over a minor detail, taking them an entire week to do half a song, (that was their approach which worked great for them) but for Prince, imperfection and minor mistakes that came out afforded him to see a new musical landscape that he would work with during the process and he would build around them and include them. A poet, he saw these mistakes as real human expressions. And real humans make mistakes all the time and so to him, it was an artform all unto itself. And so he kept them in there.
      A famous bass player once said that is what made him stand apart from the rest. It was so refreshing for her to work with him because he kept it moving. Play it, leave it in there and let's not waste too much time fussing with it because we will lose out on other opportunities coming our way.
      Thus it was typical of him to record several different versions of one hit song. Each one was just as fabulous, and unique within itself as the original. I know of no other recording artist who does that!! Not on his level anyway.
      Usually they may take the best version of that song and discard the others. But not Prince. He kept each one.

    Prince was a revelation in college and thereafter. Musicians I loved, loved him. It took me a few days but soon I got it, especially with Dirty Mind which was my gateway. Eventually you get to the side projects and bootlegs and soundboards and it’s all amazing. I love reading books about him and his process. Sign o The Times is probably my favorite concert film, Stop Making Sense be damned! He doesn’t get the mainstream respect he deserves.
    My problem with finishing and sharing things is I always think “This is not good enough to represent me. I can do better. If I share this, people will dismiss me. I need to debut with something better.” It’s been many years and I’ve basically given up on making something good enough to share, and making things period. It’s tough to get over my ego and self consciousness and put my name on something and release it to the world.

      Naw, Prince wrote a song a day for the five years that his engineer Susan Rogers worked with him. He wrote songs prolifically for essentially 40 years, starting at least as early as 1976. Cat Glover, his dancer/backup singer from 1986-1988 estimated Prince had approximately 2,000 songs in his vault at Paisley Park. And that was in 1988! 😳That number reflects the first 10 years of his output. He kept writing and producing music, and releasing albums for another 28 years--until early 2016. That's why I personally estimate his lifelong output of songs is much closer to 8,000 than 2,000 (the number I see most often cited in articles about him).

Back in the 90s I worked at a insurance company and I had a supervisor who believe came straight from the depths of hell..😅 Dig it Prince and NPG were going to be at Tower Records here in New York. And this Supervisor knew how big of a fan I was of him. I asked for the day off even offered to work extra overtime to make up for the day off so I could go to Tower Records to meet him. Well that Demon denied me the day off and laid threats of termination.So my cousin went but unfortunately couldn’t get me an Autograph because they were only signing one per person. Dig what my cousin did When he met Prince he said.” Prince my little cousin Drew loves you and inspires to be an Artist like you. What you give me to bring back to Drew? “… He said Prince leaned back in his chair cane in hand and said.. “ You tell Drew I said just be Cool..” Blew me away when my cousin told me . Well I’ve been cool ever since. I was blessed to see him a number of times live , I was even at the Purple Rain tour back in the 80s. And Recently Was able to purchase an Autograph picture which has a great story to it. But I will save that for next time.. please keep up the the fantastic content.. Inshallah and Peace…

    2 - BECOME A FINISHER
    Stick with one idea while its burning hot until its finished.
    3- ABANDON PERFECTIONISM
    Dont overthink things; keep it moving. Leaving the mistakes in is also leaving the emotion in. Gesture sketches. Momentum: most important aspect of creative process.
    4- MAKE ART EVERY DAY
    If you're awake your making art. Using your gift as often as you can is your responsibility especially if you have something valuable to say.
    5- SLEEP
    Value sleep.
    6- VAULT MENTALITY

    It`s not necessary to copy the work ethic of someone else when writing Music. It`s not a battle, it`s about writing down words and hearing melodies and receiving this "present" from the Universe. Everybody has it`s own Style. Ofcourse i admire Prince for so many things. He was obvious a Genius and the way he put down and recorded Music was not of this World. It is unique and WE (talking on behalf of Songwriters around the Globe) don`t have to work like him. There are Thousands of wonderful unforgotten Songs which were written in 5 or 10 Minutes, One Hour or stretched over a couple of Monthis. Like i said: It`s not a battle. I have written about 90 Songs so far and 12 Electronic Tracks and i am 52 and very very happy with my Gift and humble that i can perform my Music Live. I bet Prince was very satisfied with his work too...and he was absolutely right: Its all about the Momentum - thats for sure. If you miss that point that most of the time the Song is GONE..forever.

People say "quantity over quality" is a bad thing, and that's an incredibly valid argument, but I've always thought of Quantity as a tool to craft your vault, your legacy, your world! Create something your fans and listeners can explore. Create something to be discovered as if it's treasure. Good stuff.

    I'm probably at about 300 or so demos in the vault at 25. 39 released so far plus collaborations and credits. I started originally maybe 4-ish years ago because I grew up wanting to be in my friends' band but was too shy to put myself out there. I learned that Prince stated he also started making music to impress his friends, and coincidentally I stand at merely 5'6" and do it all myself. Now, when I sing a song like "I Wanna Be Your Lover," the tonal resemblance is uncanny. I've had huge Prince fans begrudgingly admit to the comparison, and people that have won multiple Grammy awards say that hearing some of my songs was "the first time they've heard something that they've never heard before." (That comment specifically relates to my song "Contrivance," but I also make stuff that's a bit more familiar). Truthfully, I still am not a huge fan of putting myself out there, and am somewhat resentful of the ego it requires to sell oneself. It's hard to pinpoint quite the right level of comfort between humility and hubris - I say after tooting my own horn. It's wild to me that - even though I'm super unknown right now - I've gotten notified of random people in South America tagging my songs in their stories and such. Still, I'm super depressed and unemployed, so hopefully I can keep things moving. I can't imagine giving up on music, and I hope that one day it becomes as externally gratifying as it is fun to create.

    This is a relatable video. I mean when you are in love with what you are doing and have something to say, how can you not be driven? That's the big question. Regardless of whether you like Prince's music or not, the reason for his legendary status was these very points as shown in the video besides having a God-given talent (actually that is not as important as the other reasons). Another less talked about area is his sense of the music business and protecting his work and his rights as an artist.
    The two other points I would add (not necessarily related to Prince) is that you should not never compare yourself to anyone, not even to someone who may be 100 times more talented than you or to your legendary heroes. As long as you have strong ideas and willing to work with your limitations, you will do something interesting with your life. Your art has to become an integral part of who you are and your life. Its sole purpose should not be for fame and glory. Of course, getting your due recognition is always encouraging but you should not get bogged down if that recognition never seems to come when you hope for... you never know when it comes and how it comes but you still bring out what is inside of you. Santana once said about Hendrix's guitar playing, "He always had his finger on the pulse of life. He played life."
    P.S. : By the way, how many here noticed Prince's beautiful handwriting?

    Feels like a formula for burning out fast if most people did this, tbh.
    Props to the one in a million person who can handle the literal all-day every-day pace, but there's absolutely no shame in not trying to replicate this.
    Apply these lessons to what you love, but at your own pace, not at an unrealistic pace.
    Don't wear yourself out, then beat yourself up for not "keeping up," and end up hating what you loved. An artistic career is all about what's sustainable for YOU.

    One thing that people often forget is that he had complete control over his body. Strength, coördination, mobility and flexibility. This was the absolute foundation of everything he did, mentally and physically.

    One of my favorite songs by Prince is DANCE ON. That track is so purposely imperfect and the percussions offbeat that its imperfections make it a great song.

    I'd never compare myself with the genius that was Prince but practically every time I plug in my gear I come up with something, I have so many ideas it is overwhelming! How you narrow it down to find the 'right ones' to work on is still a mystery. My brother is still not finished a song he's been working on for 5 years!

      Some say that the piece of art is never finished, but abandoned.
      You can try different techniques for finishing your music.
      For instance, if you have one idea on guitar, record it, listen to it, and think / feel what else does it need to be complete song?
      Maybe intro, bridge, and some ending? Write that structure down.
      Which parts does it need? Drums, bass and keyboards? Write it down.
      Then, give yourself for instance one day to define structure, and one day for each of the other tracks.
      But you must stick to that plan. Even if you're not happy with the result.
      And voila, after few days you'll have finished track. Probably not as good as you wanted it, but you've finished it, and it will give you energy to go through that process again.
      Try it.
