How do I become the best I can be?
I've just started with making songs (just released my first song), although i do have some experience producing beats. With that in mind, I essentially do all the work on my own. When I released my first song last month I've received a lot of positive feedback from both peers and strangers and have really inspired and pushed me to make more tracks.
Now i currently have 2 tracks in the works and I'm realizing I'm not exactly aligned with the amount of productivity as I had hoped to be at. Not only that, I've noticed my skills aren't top notch, leading to the early stages of my tracks being not so great.
Some key areas I know I lack:
- Mixing and Mastering (especially with vocals)
- Promo and analytics
- Interpersonal skills
I was wondering how to improve on these as an artist? People close to me say I should try to make connections to help with the work, and also so I can push more projects out, should i do that? Or should I build on the skills I have? Whats the best route and mindset to have in order to be the best at what I do?
