So why don't more people make music?
Everyone loves music. Almost no one thinks they can make it.
When I asked people why they didn't try, the replies made sense — and they had fair points:
So it became my mission to solve all three and build a fast, affordable course that anyone can do.
Benefits of creativity
A creative outlet is genuinely good for you
Studies have shown that having a creative outlet:
- Improves mental health, reduces anxiety and depression
- Improves performance at work or school
- Reduces risk of degenerative diseases
- Helps emotional development
- Improves critical thinking skills
If you love music, you can make it too
I started making music at age 12. I couldn't wait to get home from school so I could jump on the computer and make some beats.
Over 30 years later, and 20 years into a professional music career, I still love sitting in the studio making music. It's still fun — and now I know it makes me feel good for lots of other reasons too.
We as humans need a creative outlet of some form, for our mental strength and agility from youth into old age. Whether you're writing, painting, dancing or whatever you enjoy, I hope you can find something creative in your life.
