  • Hi friends,
    As 2022 comes to an end I wanted to take a look back at some things I learned this year that affected my productivity, creativity and life as a musician in general - hope you can take something away from it too. Also I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you lovely people for your support throughout the year and all the love. You guys are amazing and keep me going. And be assured: There is way more to come in 2023. 💚
    Happy New Year to all of you,
    Miles

    This is sound advice and 100% resonates with me. Last year opened so many doors, sometimes the doors you always wished were open, once they are, it can be terrifying in a way - the ultimate option paralysis. Checking in with yourself and what is going to make you happy as an artist - that is 'success'. The reward is the work/play.

      Cheers Thundergate! And totally agree - sometimes you really need to recalibrate and think what is most important to you.

    Very good video Miles! The first point is a big one and one that I need to work on myself; missing too many days for being "too busy" really makes it hard to sit down when you do have time and make music fluidly. Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing what you have for us in 2023 :)

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Рік тому +1

      Cheers dude! And yeah it definitely is - I think consistency is key when you want to move forward. And witnessing the process is rewarding too. But I still struggle with that from time to time. All the best for you and keep it up next year!

    an hour a day makes a huge difference in the long run. its a thing of discipline

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Рік тому

      It really does. And it’s very satisfying to witness the progress

  • @Fedor_Tkachev_Music

    All good points and each of them is a challenge in itself) Not comparing myself to others is probably the worst for me. Often my ego takes over my soul, and then I start to think that I'm so much better than a lot of a more successful and in-demand artists. And yet I'm basically nobody, and they all make a living even in the niche music, and I don't. Really really unhealthy pattern.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the lovely feedback Fedor! And yeah it is - but I think on the other hand you shouldn’t put yourself down too much as it can be very demotivating. It’s a tricky point and I’m still struggling a lot with it. But it is definitely more healthy to be focused on oneself.

    Great video to close the year with my friend. Those 5 points are absolutely relevant. I could not agree more on point 1. Making music a daily routine, no matter how long, was a game changer for me back then. Consistency is definitely a muscle that needs to be trained 🙏. I should definitely learn from you and get better with point 3. Thanks for taking time to share all those relevant insights with us. Wishing you a great and creative 2023. Cheers to more music and adventure by your side buddy. Keep inspiring us ♥.

    • @MilesKvndra
      @MilesKvndra  Рік тому

      Thank you so much my friend! So glad that you agree on the points and see them as relevant. You are definitely king when it comes to consistency looking at your weekly jams you did 100 weeks in a row. That’s absolutely impressive! Thanks for watching and for the great work together - it has been an absolute pleasure and I’m so looking forward to 2023 with you and the rest of the crew. Stay awesome and happy new year to you! 💚🙏🏻
