In this episode of The Listening Porch, Ray Hughes and Eric Yun dive into the beauty of creative freedom — how every artist, poet, and musician carries the potential for a new revolution when they stop trying to fit in.

They discuss how styles evolve, how comparison can kill creativity, and how to rediscover the purity of making art just because it’s in you.

From the birth of musical genres to the heart behind prophetic art, this conversation will remind you that what finds its way into your heart will always find its way into your art.

Topics include:

The power of cross-cultural creativity

The danger of imitation without authenticity

How revolutions in music start from genuine expression

The art of listening for your own sound
