Can music boost creativity? Absolutely! Can it help us as artists make our best, most honest art? Eh…not so fast. 

I’m a HUGE music lover, but I have guidelines I like to abide by when adding music to the creative process. 

No, it’s not about pressing play on one genre over the other. It’s about making sure your music is in alignment with your mood. You can’t bypass the emotional process (aka putting on happy music when you’re in a funk) if you want to make your most honest work. 

So in this episode, we’re taking a deeper look into WHY music helps us create, and how to use music (and dancing!) to create our best art yet.
