😞 What if your biggest creative breakthroughs are hiding inside your worst moments?

🎧 What if the self-doubt, heartbreak, or burnout you're carrying… is exactly what your music needs?

In this episode of Behind The DAW, we interview melodic bass producer Nurko to unpack the emotional realities of producing music in an industry that rarely talks about the mental side of creativity.

We explore questions like:

❓ What do you do when self-doubt starts to drown out your ideas?

✨ How do you reignite the magic of producing when it starts to feel like a job?

🎛️ Can emotional pain actually make your music better?

🎯 How do you stop chasing trends and finally find your own sound?

🧠 How do you stay grounded when the business side starts stealing the joy?

Whether you're stuck in a creative rut, chasing validation, or just trying to remember why you started making music in the first place—this episode will remind you that your struggles don’t disqualify you… they might be your greatest asset.
