Regular Guy ''So I start my day at 4am'' Dude you ain't regular.

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

lol

[@TheLo31]

...and on top of that... you are waking the kids up that early? lol.

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

@TheLo31 lol no, the lab is not connected to the house. This is a whole separate spot.

[@Fred_pimpstone-II]

@@ThePinkLadyAppleHousethat’s even crazier, you get up and then travel to the Stu before work, that’s some iron clad will right there. I’d be lucky to get 30 minutes in before work lmao.

[@al_gatorr]

@@Fred_pimpstone-II Looks like it might be his garage converted to a studio

[@LaytonObserves]

More content like this is needed. Because some people feel if they don't live _solely_ off their art they're a failure. But I'd say: "Wife, kids _and_ creativity? This guy's made it!"

[@t3br00k35]

🎉

[@samueltrebing5247]

💯 it’s not hard to forget that sometimes but it’s really the good life. If you get to perform or create and still have money and a family, you’ve made it!

[@HeavyRiffsPodcast]

For sure man, it's hard to SEE it when you're on that journey though

[@PreciseSense85]

Finding the balance between family, work, and creating is not an easy task. Im the same way, gotta follow your passion. Keep going

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

Truth.

[@infn8loopmusic]

[@Tedtt655]

Fr, sometimes it literally feels impossible .especially with kids and a job .

[@matthewmcnamarabeats7182]

It’s been too long since I turned on my Mpc

[@SelfDestruct.]

I call it a habit. Stopped being a hobby a long time ago. Good shit man.

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

Man I feel that.

[@hubydubn900]

so raw, I love everything about this. Need to see more regular 9-5 workers that just show their love of hip hop and music.

[@Slowlyburnedelectronics]

I have started a home studio at 45, amid two toddlers, a wife, a 9-5 job and an MBA degree. I was waking up early too, just for fooling around with music. Those couple of hours (not every day) gave me the mental strength to overcome all the difficulties at that period of my life. But I didnt have separate place for my studio untortunately. Anyway this is the power of music I guess. Wish you all the best, my friend!

[@Tedtt655]

Showing up everyday is more than half the battle for any creative pursuit. Keep on grinding bro . Enjoy the journey.

Great title for a hook 🤣 it is what we do all over the world 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

[@WAFFENFABRIK]

This video means a lot to me, as a visual artist that's constantly struggling to maintain a balance between work, life and art. Life is like a constant cycle of doing what you hate in an attempt to give you excitement for what you love.

[@Lo_Mega]

44 years old now, been making music since I was 20, I also have a family now and all the other commitments but that creative impulse is still strong, it's good to see that there are others out still finding ways to keep at it. for me it's late nights but I have always felt that if I could do it mornings would be more productive. cheers for video mate

[@eddieleonard6925]

Balancing the creative practice with a wife, kids and day job is a daily grind. Glad you're carving time for yourself. Always fun to watch you work.

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

Thank you 🙏

[@loganletsgo]

Authentic, honest, fun, badass jam room, good tunes, killer beard. I like this dude. Keep making cool stuff!

[@CeruleanAscent]

Relatable - I push the time at the end of the day though - I can't get up for shiiiiiiit in the morning - 4am ain't happenin'! Drag my arse out around 7am and go to work. Home. Eat. Chill a bit. Music until midnight-1am. Rinse and repeat. Like a dirty habit 😂 PS nice tune dude 🙌

[@Rileysparadox]

Family first! The fact that you put your family first shows so much about a persons character. Thank You for being a loving dad first not many have their priorities in the proper perspectives. Never sacrifice your family for anything. Your family is the reason and purpose for your sole existence especially when that's your Source of love and support. Continue with what you're doing... I grew up with MF DOOM and 1 thing he always told me deal or no deal always get the music out especially when you hear it in your head. I miss my brothers. Much love to you and your family Sir. Love the music. It definitely takes me back .. just listening to different albums for hours trying to find that right sample... until I started playing around with fruityloops back in 1997... I told DOOM that using computers to make beats was going to be the future and he told me no we used to go back and forth on the subject.. needless to say.. I told my brother before it happened. I miss them all. Ride the cosmic DJ SUBROC Dingalizwe DOOM KEVLOVE

[@RalphLBaer]

Love a beat w vocals like this. All that soul feeds the soul. Great job man

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

Indeed, and thank you!!

[@famosguider205]

I love your process, I’m up at 4AM before my day job as well, but not always putting in work like you sir. U have inspired me to do more. Great video and even better beat!

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

Cheers to the 4am club. Yeah I have to put in the time or else I get irritable haha I have programmed myself to make things so I am going to do it one way or another.

[@famosguider205]

@@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse thanks again bro! “I have programmed myself to make things so I am doing it one way or another.” Brilliant! Simply said and words to live by.

[@Knight_Industries_2000]

My beat making skills evolved very slowly - if at all - over the last 20 years and now i even use more and more drum loops. Because I am not great at all. But I love every minute of my hobby and i can listen to my own loops with cool drums (which i can´t reproduce) for hours. I am always sitting there thinking I am the only one who ever heard this. No need to get it out there and become a real musician. Its YOUR TIME!

[@anotherlobotomy]

Duuuuude! Just came across your channel randomly and it's inspiring me to utilize those early mornings before work to create more music. Keep it up brother!!!!

[@zaktaylor]

Thanks for the rawness man and the beat is sick, colour grade vibe on point too 🙌

[@DappadanD87]

Bro I totally understand waking up extra early before work so u can get out those sounds …btw that beat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

It’s a must, and thank you!!

[@EricWatkins7]

Love this man! I am right there with you. I scored 3 feature-length films over the last two years, all while working a full-time job, and I've run my whole semi-career that way. We all want that big break, but the reality is that it's about the daily grind, and I LOVE my time between 3:00 am and 7:00.

[@wrongthink3885]

Having a creative outlet is good for the soul, however much time can be dedicated. Nice little tune

[@ramosworldmusic]

commenting to help a regular guy get to be creative more often! hope your YT career takes off man

[@soulfulandnice]

Respect! 😊 I can totally relate to finding that balance and still finding time to be creative. It ain't easy but somehow we do it. I dig the raw groove too! ☺️

[@christhescientist]

So glad I found this channel, subscribed! looking forward to more vids :)

[@JohnnyMiguelPT]

i watched like 1 minute of the video and without hesitation i clicked the like and sub button, nice work, my kind of videos! keep them coming, btw amazing chops on that MPC! 🙌🏻

[@peterz8186]

This is so real, I work in the trades and it is so hard to find time to actually put stuff together.

[@jovanboldin9935]

Man this and your “sorry I’m not cooler” vid really resonated with me. At 34 I just knew I would be a full time artist touring and providing for my family with my art. I work 12 hour days 5 days a week off on weekends. It’s a blessing because all my other jobs before I was married in 2019 took my weekends away. So not having time kills me. I finally released my first few songs on DSP’s last year but it was a chore to find the time to do it. I’m glad I found this channel tho, your style is inspiring and I plan on focusing more on creating and not the result. Oh and also, this beat is a pocket rapper’s dream! Love your stuff bro, definitely gained a sub from me!

[@eternalmastery]

Awesome bud, good to see a real person on yt, and an artist 🤩 look forward to more content

[@hefl7847]

My heart goes out to this, I’m up at 5am for beat work for maybe 60m at best.

[@valdie6614]

daamn dude your practice has paid off! thats sounds like a classic

[@WillWorth]

I'd be interested in further detail of how you're managing this. I never want something I'd doing for myself to negatively impact my kids, but in order to be a good father, I also have to look after myself, nourish my soul with music, etc etc

[@cmullenmusic]

Thanks for sharing, i can relate. Take care 💚🎶🎶🎶👍

[@nickmass9427]

As someone who is new to parenthood it is a struggle to find time to be creative I mostly end up spending time after everyone falls asleep to work

[@toddc612]

Hang in there, man. It *will* get easier.. (I've got a 5 year-old)

[@dsinned9992]

Man than you for this. I work a regular job and also do music regularly but I'm not making progress quick enough.I'm 43 and have dabbled for over half my life but only been more serious the past couple years. My problem is I work out in the morning. So I'm up already and often have music ideas flowing. Do I sacrifice my exercise? I too have kids so school nights are out for music and I just can't get with working out after work.

This is dope. Trying to balance family, work and gaming/music is hard and part of the reason i haven't been doing anything music/gaming or YT wise. I think ima try getting up earlier in the morning than trying to stay up late at night. Keep it up. ~one~

Dude I’m 23 working at Costco for two years in nov honestly been very unmotivated and uninspired and started slacking even at work, late, no call no shows, got suspended for three days but seeing this video just made me realize how good things are and what I need to prioritize. Thank you from this random viewer

[@busdestroyer]

Really dope to see that one of my musical inspirations is also a regular dude. Humbling. 💪

[@playthesoundmusic]

I tried doing stuff late at night after everyone went to sleep...but late nights mess me up and I'm no good to the family or work like that.

Nice. Same here. I can’t get up at 04.30 tho. But maybe I should.

[@BigCore-]

My regular day starts at 04:30. I drive over an hour to work. I'd have to start at 2AM and I'd still probably get to work late if I catch a vibe lol🤷🏾‍♂

I really dig your style, if you keep making content like this, and preferably more in-debth stuff, I don't doubt for a second you can make YT a full time gig 💜

[@OttoHans]

That beat is sickkkkk

[@toomuchjaw]

It’s a tough thing man. I’m a new father and realized pretty quickly that if I wanna get anything done I better get up pretty early, haha. Having a family really changes your perspective and even when opportunities arise that could change your life (something I’m experiencing now) you MUST put your family first. There is sacrifice on either side of any decision you make when you have a family. I love your work, keep getting up at the butt crack of dawn!

[@ZorkyZork]

Keep it up man. I have creative pursuits on top of job as well.

[@liquidgroove]

Respect man. Family man also. I can relate to the irritation and frustration when not dedicating time to creativity. As well as the guilt when not being around for the family.

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

The struggles is real. Nice to know there are others in similar situations.

[@liquidgroove]

@@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse For sure. Would appreciate seeing more of how you organize your time. What time you get to sleep. How many hours of sleep you normally get. How many hours a day you get to be creative etc.

[@simonsmith2642]

Yup, 47yrs old, always playing in bands, gigging, home studio as well, my whole adult life, but also working 12hr days on call weekends overtime, still have yard to mow house to maintain cars to work on, all that normal blue collar guy stuff. But balance work family and gigging in 3 bands because I play bass drums and guitar I had a band for all 3, and doing my home studio thing. Dude its a juggling act, now Im getting older, and just quit gigging out, moved to the country, and kids are grown and out on their own. I finally have time to “take my time” and just focus on home studio work and I absolutely love it. Also don’t forget the nobody really cares, and you cant give it away free now days. But we keep doing it anyway. Because that’s who we are. Keep it up man, never give up on that piece of yourself. Its who we are.

[@markdickey]

Keep it up man! Getting up an hour or two before the kids is what keeps me sane 😂

[@shadowsonmusic]

I’m in the same boat man. Wife and two children. Full time job. I’ve got ideas to escape my job and build my own thing but struggling to find time and energy after the grind. You inspired me to set an alarm!

[@infn8loopmusic]

this is super relatable. I think even a lot of 'working musicians' require day jobs now, or at least 'work hours' to create some product offerings, etc. Those morning hours after sleep tend to be the easiest creative times when you don't have to force anything. Your mind is just a clean slate - open to channeling divine inspiration, I think that's why it comes easily. it's always harder to make time after dinner when household things or family grab our attention or interrupt the flow state.

[@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse]

Exactly, couldn’t have said it better.

[@infn8loopmusic]

@@ThePinkLadyAppleHouse it's always this- 9Pm... My dog: "whines to go out" me on the couch: "man, I just hit the record button" (covered in synths and wires) takes 5 min to unplug everything and get up 🤣
