They said:⁠

"I don't 'like' your music - and yet I am drawn to it over and over again. I love how committed you are to your explorations, and I feel like you're expanding my ears and perspectives."⁠

Here's why I love this comment:⁠

First, they stumbled across something unfamiliar and instead of immediately dismissing it, they paused. They listened again. It wasn't what they were used to, but they recognized something intriguing was happening.⁠

That kind of curiosity (and willingness to listen more than once) is rare.⁠

Second, they could feel my commitment and passion for what I was doing, and that drew them in even when the music itself was challenging for them.⁠

This is something I tell my students all the time: joy and passion is contagious. It comes through in your music.⁠

When you follow what genuinely excites you, when you're fully committed to your explorations, people can sense that authenticity even if they don't immediately understand what you're doing.⁠

Your music won't be for everyone. And that’s 100% okay.⁠

But it WILL land with the *right* people.⁠

So here's the lesson, and it goes both ways:⁠

If you encounter music that doesn't immediately make sense to you, stick with it for a moment. Get curious. You might discover something that expands your world.⁠

And if you're making adventurous, experimental work and it feels exciting, buzzy, and aligned to YOU - but you’re worried it might be "too much" for someone else…⁠

PLEASE don't dim your voice to fit in.⁠

Amplify it. 🔥⁠
