There was a time I almost stopped making music. I couldn't stop comparing myself to every producer who was "ahead" of me… and it nearly killed my creativity. What pulled me out: I stopped comparing myself to them, and started comparing myself to who I was yesterday. You're not behind. You're on your own path. 🖤

The most valuable lesson of my career was one sentence: work precedes motivation. Not the other way around. I wasted years waiting to feel inspired before I'd sit down. Backwards. Motivation shows up after you start — never before. Save this for the next day you don't feel like it. 🔥

Undoubtedly focused on Bitcoin. The music industry is rotten with parasites that feed from the creative energy of artists. And that needs to stop. I’m on a mission to build Bitcoin tools for musicians and artists. Artists need Bitcoin. They just don’t know it yet. Adoption not only means people buying Bitcoin. It also means every app using Bitcoin in some way or another. Keep building.

The music industry desperately needs Bitcoin. But I can’t wait for someone to do something about it. Building something. Give some time.

Spotify is a large tumor in the music industry. That’s just facts. Artists need micro-transactions over the internet with hard money. Artists need Bitcoin more than they know they do. We need to stop begging Spotify for fraction of a penny. I’ll think of something. The music industry is broken.
I was a vegan for 4 years. I’ve always loved researching about health and wellbeing and biohacking. So I never stopped reading. Over a year ago I stumbled upon @Paul Saladino MD and I’ve been eating an animal-based diet for a while now. I felt amazing when I became vegan. But this is on a whole other level. I’ve never felt this way before. Thanks Paul! I hope you read this. P.S. Happy to see Heart & Soil accepting Bitcoin payments. LFG.
More people should be using private AIs Private + Bitcoin Payments + pay per use.
It’s crazy to see the amount of boomers advising against self custody at the Bitcoin Conference. Fuck you! Now having shitcoiners on stage talking about “Crypto Ecosystem” It should rebrand to Shitcoin2025
focus. prioritize. say no to everything else. #musicproducer #artistmindset #motivation #mindset #creativeprocess
These 5 book fundamentally changed my career as an artist and producer. Each one gave me amazing tools I use every day. What books have changed your life? Let me know. #musicbooks #selfdevelopmenttools #personaldevelopment #musician #electronicproducer #edmproducer #books #independentartists
Say what you want, but offline ecash payments seem like the best alternative for internet and power outages. I know we can use satellites, radio, mesh networks, and even send a PSBT to a friend with an online node. But the average joe will probably benefit from just having a small balance for 15-30 spend. Also, speed wise, is you need to buy food or gas, ecash is probably faster than sending a USB with a PSBT to a friend in another city. What do you all think?
This is one of my favorite remixes ever! s/o to Bronze Whale and Sofa Sound for letting me put my spin on it. It’s out now everywhere ⚡️ Go stream it. Zapping everyone who comments and reposts 👀 #musicproducer #futurebass #electronicmusic #musicproduction #v4v
Artists are lowering the quality of their music in order to increase volume in a world where apps and algorithms reward volume and not quality. Artist are broke. Being forced to spend 95% of the year traveling alone, performing, little sleep and bad diet in order to make a living from their craft. They are living the dream… or so they say. Most are anxious, stressed and depressed. Being pressured by labels and managers to create more music, more content, go viral, engage with their fans, build and email list, take more flights, more lonely nights at hotels, etc etc etc. The music industry is slowly making their artists sick. The same artists that create the art they sell and keep 85% of the value. The industry is fucked. And Bitcoin is the ONLY solution. Artists need Bitcoin. And they need it now.
A Before & After look at ‘Sinking’ I started this demo back in 2018, and now it has over 3M streams on Apple Music. WILD!! 🤯 Thanks to everyone who’s streamed this one. Your support makes all of this possible. If you haven’t heard ‘Sinking’, check out the link in my bio. Zapping everyone who comments 👀
Onboarding more musicians to Nostr is my favorite hobby. One creator at a time.
