Isaac’s Answer

I don't know your full situation, so I couldn't say if the people telling you those things about your sound are being constructive or hurtful, but if you like what you make it shouldn't matter. In my 10 years of creating music and art, most of my work has gone non-viral, which is how I prefer it, but at first it seemed like people didn't care for my style. A lot of people get hung up on what is popular, or what is catchy, but lose out on what is meaningful to the creator.

If your music brings you joy, then keep creating. If you're in a rut, open a new artistic avenue. I took a long hiatus from making music to explore painting and writing, and it opened up a lot of doors internally for those musical blocks.

We live in a fast-paced world that shows little patience for creativity that doesn't provide innovation, but I believe all creativity is necessary. Try a new hobby that is constructive, not a video game, but something that challenges you to learn. It may just lead you back to the music and show you something you didn't know was there before.

Hello Israel, one of the ways that I cope with being doubtful is to be inspired by nature and everything around me like the deep blue sky or beaches can be a motivational tool to create beautiful songs. If you play an instrument or if your vocals are your instruments, get out in the nature around you and resonate that passion. Block away any distracted thoughts. Just myself and manifesting; Seeing myself as a perlifix song writer making beautiful music to glorious music fans.
