What if consuming art outside of music could unlock your most original sound?

🧠 What if understanding your brain — not just your DAW — is the real key to making better music?

In this episode of Behind The DAW, we interview Skybreak — a genre-bending producer known for his high-energy creativity, ADHD-fueled workflow, and deep emotional expression. Together, we dive into how intentional art consumption, neurodivergence, and personal growth have shaped his music and career.

We explore questions like:

❓ How do you balance ADHD with building a focused music career?

🎧 How can watching movies, playing games, or reading actually make your music better?

🔥 What does it take to escape hustle culture and still stay productive?

🌀 How do you stay emotionally grounded while putting yourself into your art?

🎮 Why are non-musical influences often the secret to standing out?


Whether you're stuck in a creative loop, overwhelmed by pressure, or just looking for new inspiration — this episode will recharge how you think about making music.
