I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried writing and recording a modern metal shoegaze-inspired riff.

Come with me behind the scenes on how I write, record and produce my own music. I take you through my creative process, starting with a simple riff idea and transforming it into a modern and massive metal riff.

I think the creative process and creative outlet of making music is the best thing in this life and I genuinely enjoy the process of creating a song from scratch.

I had so much fun making this new style of video for the channel and I will definitely be making more of these. If this is something that you are interested in and genuinely enjoy, then subscribe to the channel!
