💡 What if the key to building your music career isn’t working harder… but telling a better story?

🎧 What if trusting your intuition—and building a brand that feels like you—is the real cheat code?

In this episode of Behind The DAW, we interview sound design legend Au5 to unpack how story-driven branding, creative intuition, and artistic alignment transformed his career—and how they can transform yours.

We explore questions like:

❓ How do you build a brand that reflects your true identity as an artist?

📖 What does it mean to give your music a story—and why does it matter?

🧭 How do you know when to trust your gut over industry advice?

🌊 What inspired the Earth Wave EP, and how do you turn concepts into cohesive musical worlds?

Whether you’re feeling pulled between creativity and career, struggling to define your brand, or just want to feel more aligned in your music…

This episode will help you reconnect with the why behind your sound.
