When I started producing music and DJing at 50, I paid attention to the people who were already doing it at the highest level.

Not what they said or preached. But what they actually did.

Here’s what I kept noticing:

1: They finished tracks consistently, even when they weren’t perfect.
2: They kept a schedule and treated it seriously.
3: Some of their biggest tracks were ones they almost didn’t release (like deadmau5 strobe)
4: They were part of a community of artists who grew together.
5: Their sound came from the artists they listened to the most.
6: They took opportunities before they felt ready.
7: They treated studio time like a real job, with structure and breaks.

None of this is complicated.

But actually doing it this way
is what I saw over and over again.

That’s what stuck with me.
