Writing and Releasing a Song in 12 Hours (With Playing Demos)
40This video describes the importance of making and releasing music! It can be tempting to get hung up on one riff or another when writing a song. While it’s important to do the best you can, it’s equally if not more important to finish songs and release them. This video discusses this as well as sheds some insight into my writing process for my single Jupiter Workshop to help inspire or give tips on how to complete songs.
