Dear The ContentStudio, Podcast & YouTube Community,

We know that finding your passion and pursuing it can be a daunting task, especially when you're constantly told you won't make it. In our latest episode, our speaker Nocturnal shares his personal experience with this challenge, receiving DMs from young fans who want to pursue music but are hesitant.


Nocturnal beliefs that playing it safe won't lead to anything special and that starting somewhere is better than not starting at all. Giving valuable advice, he explains how making mistakes on your own can be better than having someone hold your hand. They have also experienced the beauty of creating music and being taken somewhere unexpected by a beat.

Their creative process involves hearing a beat and seeing colors, which inspires them to write and create music. They don't focus on finding a specific beat to fit a certain topic but rather write based on how the beat makes them feel. The mixtapes include artwork that reflects the colors they see when creating their music.

We enjoyed the discussion around Cobain's persona, which was not necessarily about the sonics of his music but about his fearlessness in the face of criticism. Eminem is also like Cobain in his vulnerability and willingness to share his life story in an uncensored way.

The speaker Nocturnal is willing to work hard and side hustle to make ends meet to pursue their music career. They envision themselves in Los Angeles in five months, completely full-time in the music industry with a partnership with a major label in a year from now. They aim to have a small tour with six shows, 100 people venues, by the end of this year.

We learned about the importance of organic views and how having a large audience is crucial for selling tickets, much like how companies like Apple advertise their products. The speaker has a 49-51 split plan and hopes to perform in big venues with up to 5000 people in three years.

Lastly, Nocturnal talks about their long-term goal, which is to write psychological thrillers and horror films. It was fascinating to learn how their origin of artistic creativity is still unknown.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this episode as much as we did. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to write to us. Stay tuned for more exciting episodes.

Best,
