The most dangerous thing about growing up is forgetting how to play. From childhood Lego sessions to experimenting with piano, creativity has always been about freedom, not perfection. Yet today’s music creation process is so complex that most ideas die before they’re born, buried under software, costs and gatekeepers. While some turn to “cheat code” AI tools that promise instant songs they sacrifice true creativity in the process. Real artistry isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about play, building, breaking, and rebuilding with imagination.
