Start NOW with Sanjay C (Music Production YouTuber)
#016 - Are you curious what it's like to build a growing YouTube channel about music production on the side of a 9-5 day job and all those life responsibilities? Join Connor as he interviews Sanjay C about all things creative.
We cover quite a few topics:
- We talk Sanjay's journey from Travel vlogs to gear reviews and content for bedroom music producers
- How a 10 year break from music forced him to see everything through brand new eyes and create content by documenting his re-learning journey
- Getting the ball rolling with his YouTube channel from first video that succeeded
- Sanjay's rigorous creative routine in order to create multiple videos a week
- How content creation opens new avenues but also rabbit holes that can steer you from your original goals
- Accepting a squiggly (not straight) life path
- Geeking out about my favourite video of his
- Balancing your time between creating what you feel like, and doing what meets demands of others
- Misconceptions about content creators
- How to find your voice
- Differentiating between what you want and what has been put in your head by social media and other influences
- How hard it is NOT to be driven by external forces (audience expectations, social media algorithms, trends, etc.)
- Fighting the algorithm with meaningful (albeit less popular) content
- Creating your own pocket of the world where you belong and find other great people through establishing yourself in a niche
- Motivation and techniques to keep creative
- How verbalizing your commitments keeps you accountable
- Why the most special and unique-to-you endeavours take so much more work than you ever expect
- How perfectionist behaviours can be a barrier to success
- The best parts of being a succeeding YouTuber
- Battling burnout when you're on the brink
- The evergreen advice Sanjay would give himself if he started all over again
