music + life podcast by curtiss king

Music Producers, in today's episode is dedicated to purely keeping you encouraged. A few kind words can go a long way, I know because they do it for me all the time. We also discuss the other side of the 6 figure Music Producer and what I consider the most important word in the Music Producer Vocabulary. Teaser: The Word is NO! Lol

Music Producers, as we work diligently towards our goals, we must be aware that there exists an energy within us that can't live if we expect to thrive long term. In today's podcast I break down how hypocrisy, insecurity, and passing judgment on others is in direct conflict with the successful producer you wish to become. We also discuss the 1% rule, the role dopamine plays in sound selection, my album with Murs & Dee-1, what defines timeless music, & Slap Expert's newest pack Cupcakin.

Music Producers, in the words of the wise Jamaican spiritual teacher Mooji "Life takes care of LIFE." Let me be an example of that to you all. As of recent life has been shifting me, shaping me, and directing me to the wisdom needed to be more self aware and happier.

This week marks the official launch of the first official soundpack from Slap Experts. The response was out of this world. In this podcast I talk about the details of what it took to launch this successfully.

Music Producers, over the past few months I've been reading a lot about the power of FLOW STATE. For those that have never heard of FLOW it is often referred to as being in a ZONE. FLOW STATE finds us as Music Producers when we are so fully immersed in our beat making process that we lose track of time and the necessity to overthink the process. Scientist say that when we reach a FLOW a part of our brain called the Pre-Frontal Cortex (Responsible for emotions and overthinking) temporarily shuts down.

For a producer like myself that OVERTHINKS the process often, especially on live streams, this topic intrigues me, Especially when I learned that there's actually a way for us to get to this state on a regular basis. Well, not only did I achieve myself these past few weeks, but I believe that I have figured out a way you too can consistently tap into your Music Producer FLOW STATE.

Music Producers, over the past weekend the subject of MASTERY has been heavy on my mind. I think it was inspired by watching the battle rap homey Daylyt go to an entirely different level with his penmanship in the URL NOME 10 competition. It got me thinking...what does mastery look like for us as Music Producers and is it MORE or LESS complex viewing it from the perspective on the producer that has mastered their craft? Let's talk about it.
