The Mindset of
Making Music

WITH KEITH MILLS

FMM076 – What happens when you get left behind?

Do you want to use other people’s success to help you grow and to accelerate your development toward your version of success? In any creative field, one thing that everybody deals with at some point or another is seeing other people succeed while you stay where you are. Maybe you started making music at the…

FMM075 – Don’t Wait for Motivation… Create It

You are the architect of your own motivation. When it comes to getting down to writing music, I see a lot of people making the same mistakes.  And one of the biggest of them all is waiting around for motivation to come to you. “I’ll get started tomorrow”, “I’m not feeling it today”. We’re all…

FMM074 – Failing to Succeed

Failure is essential if you want to progress, but you’re only going to progress if you learn from it. When we try new things, we imagine new ideas. And when we imagine new ideas, we try to make them a reality. And whenever we do that, failure is inevitable. If we’re going to succeed at…

FMM073 – Infinite Creativity

“There’s never an end to being a creative. There’s never an end to music” As much as we’d all like to think so, you can’t win at music. You can’t win at art. And you can’t win at life. It just doesn’t work like that, so why do so many of us treat our music…

FMM072 – Imposter Syndrome: The Poison and the Antidote

“When you live into fear, you get the results of that fear.” Imposter syndrome – it’s not just a case of self-doubt. It’s that persistent, nagging feeling of being a fraud, or feeling like you don’t belong, which makes you devalue your worth and undermines the things that you’ve achieved and what you’re capable of….

FMM071 – Finding Your Own Sound

“You don’t find your sound, your sound finds you.” Nobody wants to be vanilla, boring, same old, same old, or to be a second version of somebody else.  We all want all our music to have a piece of ourselves in it, to be unique, and to be original in some way.  But while originality…

FMM070- What all labels must do for you or they suck!

“If we stay open and we look at conditions and what’s important to us… then what we’re seeing is the real world. We’re seeing the truth and it gives us choice and it gives us control.” I’ve noticed a growing trend popping up in many aspects of life, and that’s ENTITLEMENT. “I DESERVE this”, “you…

FMM069 – Dubfire

“Whatever it is you do, you have to try to be as honest with yourself and with your art as possible. And if you can manage that, the rest will fall into place quite nicely.“ Rounding off our series of incredible interviews on the Finish More Music Podcast over the last four weeks is the…
