The real tragedy would not be failing to achieve mastery, but that in the process you lost sight of what’s most important: realizing your own voice. A relentless pursuit of mastery can distract from the purpose of art: a unique and personal perspecti... more

If you begin with your fingers you are immediately filtering your imagination through your chops. Instead, ask yourself: ... more

The thing about art is that it’s never finished. It’s a fact that presents a fundamental challenge: you have to decide to let go. To accept imperfection. To move on or to live inside the maze of one project your entire life.

After just two episodes, “The Producer Head” podcast has risen to the top of my long list. Toru's choice of guests, along with his skills as a conversationalist and interviewer, are top-notch.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

052. Mo Playlists Mo Problems | feat. Ian Ewing
Q: What would you tell an aspiring producer about building community beyond streaming?
Focus on direct-to-listener channels like Discord, email lists, Patreon, and live collaborations; prioritize quality engagement over quantity, and treat side projects as a creative refuge that can feed the main project.
052. Mo Playlists Mo Problems | feat. Ian Ewing
Q: How did you start making money from music beyond just creating it?
Early on I leveraged SoundCloud connections and later navigated monetization as Spotify grew; the key was staying active, engaging with other artists, and seizing opportunities when the audience expanded, while keeping money from dictating my creativity.
051. What We Get Wrong About Dilla | feat. Swarvy
Q: How do you approach finishing records for others versus your own music?
He emphasizes focusing on the artist's vision, maintaining balance between technical craft and the emotional impact, and only then considering whether to push for a louder master or more transparent processing.
051. What We Get Wrong About Dilla | feat. Swarvy
Q: What role does community and environment play in your development?
Being around like-minded people (e.g., in LA with Ringo) provides musical inspiration and emotional support, which accelerates growth and keeps motivation high.
051. What We Get Wrong About Dilla | feat. Swarvy
Q: How do you know when a track is done?
He says a track is done when nothing sticking out feels awkward and you can listen start to finish without being pulled off course, treating the sequence like a cohesive journey.
