Sampling is a labor of love that allows artists to pay homage to the music that came before them.The shift from physical to digital media has both advantages and disadvantages for musicians.The accessibility of digital platforms has democratized music production but also poses risks in terms of ownership and control.Sampling is a form of creativity that allows artists to create something new by rearranging existing sounds.Procrastination is a common challenge for artists, and finding a balance between creativity and organization is crucial. Procrastination can be viewed as a valuable part of the creative process, allowing for moments of rest and reflection.Music serves as a timestamp for specific emotions and experiences, and can be a powerful tool for self-expression and connection.Authenticity and staying true to oneself are key in the creative journey.Embrace the process of growth and improvement, and don't let naysayers discourage you.
