"Be encouraged and encourage others" are such beautiful words to live by. Also loved seeing his shirt collection haha. Dope documentary!

[@majesticcasual]

He says it perfectly 🙌

[@farbentwickler]

I discovered him in December 2017, since then he had a huge influence on how I approach music. A really great musician!

[@majesticcasual]

what is your approach when thinking about music? ✨

[@farbentwickler]

​@@majesticcasual There is a beautiful quote of him on Twitter, which describes it perfectly: "dont make music only to show off chops or cool chords im so bored with that sht. play something beautiful play something soulful play something that feels good. if it happens to have cool chords then cool. always play from the heart first and foremost. all else is secondary"

[@linedyou]

this music.. i just can’t explain it, it makes my day better and better. so chill, so happy, jazzy, but it’s the best music of anything ive ever heard. i’ve been trying to find music like this since i was 5 years old, i’m only 11 now. your music is my type, best music ever. has such a good influence on me. and helps me feel better on my bad/stressed days. you encourage me so much and if i knew you existed AND missed out on so much that you stopped producing songs, i would literally cry. each song you make i draw on what I think about the music, like what it’s explaining. i can write paragraphs all day, but i’m in a rush. i just wanted to know your a huge inspiration, so don’t stop and keep what your doing cause your doing good to people.

[@majesticcasual]

thanks for the love ❤️glad it can inspire you like it inspires me.

[@spheric5725]

Been loving these recent uploads. Glad you back in full form 👊

Kiefer is a legend!

[@majesticcasual]

he really is. such multifaceted talent ✨

[@cedricjlawson]

The whistle duet is one of the most wholesome moments I've ever seen.

[@majesticcasual]

so good 😆

[@jared-]

This is super cool! I've been listening to Kiefer for a long time.

[@joshuamartinstudios]

I love what he said in the beginning how he described his creative process " stream of consciousness composer." I relate in that way because when I create visuals, I normally go with the first my thought and run with it.

[@majesticcasual]

really makes you think 🤔

[@xXDragoonGtXx]

and the essence of what made me love this channel, discovering new artists, is rediscovered, great to have you back Majestic!

[@flintmusic7890]

Awesome to see such a unique artist like Kiefer getting the attention he deserves. There's really nobody out there in his respective genre that even comes close to being as original and innovative. You could even argue that he has a genre of his own.

[@majesticcasual]

he's amazing 🙌

[@biancagarcia2924]

Kiefer you melt my heart!! Genuinely have so much love for you 🙏🏽❣️you’re the man!!!!

[@kiefershackelford2180]

[@majesticcasual]

melts my heart too 😩

[@AZIZ18691]

I am a new fan. I love hearing you play. It’s simply gorgeous. I’d love to hear a collab with Tom Misch, FKJ,Jordan Rakei, Jarrod Lawson, Alfa Mist...okay I have a list. Sorry but I really love listening to you. Oh and now I hear in the background ‘A Beautiful Girl’?? Yaaasssss!!!!🥰🥰🔥🔥

[@majesticcasual]

great ideas ✌️

[@karenk3486]

I find this so inspiring, especially since I too have suffered from severe GAD and panic attacks, and they are no joke. I have such a respect for people who deal with this, as well as mental/emotional/psychological disorders as well, considering how tremendously an altered mental state changes your life. I am a fine artist, and it's been pretty debilitating trying to be functional work-wise and creative-wise, and also recover from all the anxiety that stems from severe trauma. One of the most helpful things for me so far was similar to what Kiefer said, which is acceptance of those feelings. When I'm feeling anxious, I kind of imagine saying to the various parts of myself, "I know, this is hard, let's get through it together," and it almost immediately brings my anxiety under control--it doesn't necessarily go away, but it doesn't spike, and I can typically manage it from there. Flowing with it and not letting it get ahold of you is a major challenge (especially when it's severe), but it is the most beneficial, more permanent/long-term path to recovery (which can absolutely also be supported with therapy, drugs, etc. if necessary). Thank you, Kiefer, for sharing your story--you are not alone!

Love this video. I wanna know what this kind of type of music is. Just Jazz? but the bass sound of BGM after brief introducing himself is very newly to me. What is genre of this kind of music?
