About this episode

Sumi Krishnan discusses the challenges of maintaining a creative vision amidst external pressures and shares her journey towards a more aligned music career.

We are constantly bombarded by other people's ideas, advice, and opinions...and it's making it harder than ever to tune into our own creative vision. In this solo episode, I'm getting real about why the pressure to constantly drop new music almost broke me and what I'm doing differently now that has me feeling more aligned and excited about my music career than ever before. We're talking about blocking out the noise, building a cohesive creative vision, creating a sandbox for yourself as an artist, and why evidence of progress is the fuel that keeps us going.
