For those of you wondering how to make it in the music industry, how to find your sound as an artist/producer, or how to evolve the way you evolve in any field of art, this interview is for you.
To me this episode is all about the mindset of an artist, and how we can invert and combine ideas in order to elevate our artistic expression. Sam shares perspectives in this interview about making better art that I haven't heard anywhere else, and have helped me expand my approach towards making art. That said, some people may find some of his perspectives to be controversial, so it's up to you to assess what information you resonate with.
