New concept, new vibes, new vision, fully focused.

you can literally feel the passion and energy put into this video through the screen. The fact that this video and your channel is so underrated really confuses me. Keep up the amazing work, you're changing mindsets out here!

You just made this old man cry, tears of joy. I'll be 73 in few days and I began composing when I was 64 and your video has helped me push through a mental block that has been preventing me from developing my own sound. FIKO, you are not only an artist but a philosopher too!

Lately I feel so depressed and overhelmed, because I'm still not good enough at producing, but at the same time I have less and less time. These feelings have intensified in recent months to the point where I have become filled with an aversion to music. You reminded me of the beauty of it and pushed me to make music my life's passion again. Not my life as a slave to the music industry. Thank you

This feels, weird. Im just a starting musician and now i got really inspired for my music making, thank you. Keep up the content, you're doing great.

I genuinely have been so depressed with all of music production, even if I've been barely producing for less than a year, this truly hit me at heart. For me, music is my everything. Nobody truly cares about what you do with your music when you realize that, plus the social media thing of like, being overthrown and overwhelmed because of the sheer amount of success and happiness you see from others, in contrast to your current lifestyle and situation makes you break down and not get up, but now, this I believe has inspired me to go back to it. I've been away from production for like 2 or 3 weeks, and I feel as if something is missing in my life. Now I'll go and start that DAW up again. Thank you, Fiko. Much love from Latvia. =] ❤️

“dont forget to live because that’s where the inspiration is” wow that hit hard

Bro this is the most fucking inspiration I've ever had for music on the past 7 years of being burnt out on this shit

Bro you're such a chill guy! Found your channel a week ago and it almost feels like you're talking directly to me in most of your videos. I'm 39 years old, started producing when I was about 19 years old, and had played piano by ear from the time I was a very young child. In the very early 2000s I found out there was software (Reason, FL Studio, Pro Tools) etc. that allowed producers to easily make music while at home without needing thousands of dollars to pay for studio time etc. That's what made me jump into making music full time! Over the 20+ years of making music, I've learned so much and have met so many people along the way! I've also burned many bridges with friends, family, ex girlfriends, ex wife etc. along the way. About two years ago I finally started getting to the point where I started to feel burned out. I hadn't exactly "made it" by industry standards. I've made money with my music, but definitely not alot. My talent has always been there, but I've never been the business type of mind. I'm a loner. I don't like being around clubs/bars etc. So promoting my music has been insanely difficult/nearly impossible. I also have it bad because instead of just focusing on producing instrumentals, I do every last thing myself! I write, I mix, I produce, I promote, I rap, I sing, I do every last thing solo! I've never had a team or any help along the way! Because of this.. I've never quite mastered any one particular thing. I'm good at making beats, I'm good at mixing etc. But I'm not a MASTER engineer, or a MASTER song writer etc. Because I've spent too much time on way too many jobs when it comes to music rather than honing my focus in on one particular aspect of music. But yeah, I can go on and on and on and on.. but just wanted to drop you some lines and let you know I appreciate you. We need more people like you out there to keep those of us going and it's helpful to hear other producers going through the same struggles. If anyone wants to hear anything I've done.. I have several great projects on soundcloud as well as Itunes,Spotify etc. www.soundcloud.com/mista808 (is the link for soundcloud) #MISTA808

“The core foundation of being an artist is your music, nothing else.” That is going on my wall. You changed my perspective entirely. Thank you, Fiko.

One Thing I learned -When you begin your journey ! We (Producer/ Artist) are overwhelmed with so much knowledge that we forget we came here on the first place i.e. " Love for the music ". Here we are tweaking every single Fucking sound so that, it sounds goods. Nope It won't sound good anyday, It never will. Just do what you love . Just do what you feel . Thank you Fiko fot this video. It was much needed .

This video is so good

Thanks for encouraging people to not be afraid to create something new. Finding joy in the art you create is probably the best foundation to create art.

Holy shit, been a while since I've seen such an entertaining video with so much knowledge

I’m a producer and songwriter I have this really futuristic trap/edm sound sound and unique vocal style that, when used in a song, sounds like stuff from out of this world. But I refrain from recording because I live in my parents’ apartment and I don’t want to be judged. I can hear my neighbors talking downstairs and im sure they heard me every time I was recording a song. :/ I consider myself to be the best producer in my town and no matter how much I upload to KZfaq or Instagram I get no engagement :/ I feel like quitting and it’s just wasted potential. I just want others to hear what I create because I know what I’m capable of and I want others to take inspiration from me and resonate with the emotion I put into my tracks.
