As one of the more insightful chats w/ @enamourmusic on decision making as an emerging artist, we went deep into the fateful events that lead to opportunities with dream labels and collaborations. 

When asked about goal setting: .. "You have to have quick wins, pretty early on in your learning curve and in your journey to stay motivated. So for me it was setting very achievable goals and super longterm goals, but making sure that there was enough in between where I was constantly reinforcing the idea."

"I’m extremely happy with how quickly it's happened. People say "Oh wow, three years, that's really impressive." But I subscribe to the mentality that time should only really be measured in hours when you're talking about this kind of stuff. So when I meet people and they're like, "Oh, I’ve been producing for 10 years, I'm so jealous." So I ask how many hours per week they produce, and they say "Oh, well I don't produce every week. And sometimes if I get off work early, I'll do two hours on a Friday, but then I'm gone all weekend." 

So you've been doing two to five hours per week, let's say. So a couple hundred in a year. But I was going at least eight hours a day on the weekends and then three to five hours a night during the week. So three years sounds like a short amount of time, but in hours it was a lot more time than you would think..."

"The really big piece of advice that I give to people, especially my close friends that are trying to do this, is that whenever you think you're ready, whenever you have a song that like a big DJ played or you got really good feedback on and you think you're finally ready to like launch the project, take six more months. Just don't do it and take six more months. Because if you strike gold the first time and it's a huge success and you can't follow it up with more tracks, it's going to be for nothing because the whole attention span of the scene will pass over you."

"There was a long period of time where I was definitely working equal time at my day job and production per week and, and I didn't really have a life outside of it. I was lucky where a lot of my friends, firstly they understood and they were willing to accept that. But also that they are really into the scene as well. So when we did hang out, we were at a show or something, which is almost working because you're getting inspiration, you're seeing what the DJ is doing. So all of my free time was really devoted to music and in some way or another."
