As creatives, we never look back at our work enough and feel proud. We instantly move the goalposts to a new level we think we need to reach, or judge our work by the exposure it gets on platforms. In music, when I was making pop, this was especially bad — as soon as you do well, the benchmarks are raised and you find ... Show more

Last week I sat down with @blackdave to talk about being a multi-hyphernate and the challanges of that in a platfromed industry that forces you in to boxes. I wrote up some of the best moments of the longform chat into a post:

I love this take from @blackdave , it’s a reminder that the work around the music we often see as a distraction, but it’s creative direction and a use of our creative energy.
