The Constant Confusion of Being a Musician

Being fully on your own in any kind of business can have its own stresses that come with it, I think with music its super easy to constantly feel unsatisfied or stressed out. You gotta do your best to show up everyday and be the best version of yourself. I wanted to try to put together a video of this sort of style, I've been working on this one for a bit over a week now tryna get all the edits right and everything. My apologies for this video kind of being all over the place, but this is really just raw footage of me saying what was on my mind in the moment. I would love to do more of these style of videos. Let me know if you guys enjoyed and what else you'd like to see on here!

[@paryo_]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Indigo24485]

same man. haven't even made music in the past week cause I keep comparing my stuff to others and end up deleting whatever I'm working on

[@korn788]

@@Indigo24485 BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER DELETE ANYTHING YOU MAKE! you never know when you might go back to it and make a hit

[@CxdyCxdy]

0:20 that's ft lauderdale

[@milesjordan]

Literally typed some notes in my phone from this video. Really appreciate the new style! This will help a lot of people, even outside of producing.

[@dalamabeat5865]

Thank you Paryo, you talking directly to me. You're bringing harmony to all that noise in our journey

[@xjleon]

Really needed this. As an artist, over saturation makes me doubt my ability to make music my career. I fall off course sometimes but the idea of making music for the love of the craft is what relieves me of that anxiety. It’s always super cool to see someone like Paryo who’s “made it”, and still has similar struggles. It’s not that I think it’s cool that he struggles, but it’s humbling to know that those kind of feelings are normal for musicians

[@jeskeydontmiss]

This is exactly what I needed right now! I used to just cook up what I wanted, made a couple sales and really started overthinking everything. That part hit home, wish somebody was there to tell me what to do sometimes lol. You really grown into your own bro! Thank you for this video 🙏

[@tri11est]

That first advice about maintaining a life and having real social skills is such a gem 💎

[@11tores]

Thanks paryo man, really motivated me with this vid. Its crazy to think that 2 years ago you was just like us, KZbin producers putting beats out daily. Fast forward and now you're part of IM, you're really a living proof that everything can happen. Thank you so much for all the things you did for the community. Wishing you a nice day Paryo!

[@liedecay]

as a producer 1/2 of a duo, i send this to my brother

[@prodKossi]

*Imagine meeting another version of yourself in 10 years who made all the decisions you should've made, but didn't.* That shit's what gets me to the gym, lol 💜

[@iamalxne]

needed this. been extremely discouraged lately. this def inspired me to keep pushing and being myself

[@Prodtroy]

Bro this shit is hella inspirational man. ive been producing for 2 years now, and im getting to the point where my beats have a decent quality, and i can cook them up quickly, but the plan of how i want to upload beats or have a consistent schedule is such a daunting task, so this video really helps! Thank you Paryo, you the goat fr

[@4FATE]

not a producer but i been following ur progress n journey for a while and its so cool to see you inspiring others and always improving

[@tiny5988]

producers this honest are rare... appreciate your content man 💎

[@1ayosim]

[@9oBeats]

[@1kaydo]

[@paryo_]

[@1beaux]

you’re fr my greatest inspiration, im hella young and im very thankful to be guided in the right direction via these videos, i see you being insanely big in the future, keep it up bro. most of us just need the reassurance that we’re doing a good job, and i’ve been tryin to give that to people that i genuinely have high hopes for, and you’re one of them. keep it up bro🔥🔥

[@prod.betwixt]

can tell youre speaking from the heart, really appreciate hearing your advice/experiences.

[@ProdLOSTNFOUND]

Thank you Paryo for all the advice in this video especially for reminding us to not stress so much and focus on the art because the results will come if and when we stay consistent

[@kabaninjaga]

I'm from Russia, I know that the relationship with our people is extremely difficult now, but I'm so inspired by you guys, burn as brightly as always

[@Doza]

U a real one for this vid bro you forever got my respect for this 🫶

[@RJPonce]

i’m working to become a professional music producer, recording artist, and entrepreneur… i really needed to hear this this morning 🔥 thank you for the wisdom and all the hard work you do 🙌

[@break64bit]

im glad u tried to not specifically talk abt trap/rap genre prods bcus its all music genres where tha ppl who make tha music suffer frm ts shit nd im glad u touch on it nd try to help

[@prodbyrxvrt.9887]

Yo bro I keep watching this video man you’ve really inspired me to keep grinding in the producer life and keeping the same mindset outside of that, you really woke me up to be the best version of myself and I wanna thank you bro❤️

[@kankanfan300]

This vid really helped bro, I sometimes can be really hard on myself and it can be tough sometimes,really grateful yu chose to talk about everything yu did🙏

[@longboystyle]

one thing I would say ab type beats is that there are still ways to bring give growth to your type beat channel. i found that pertaining to artists w smaller audiences generally gives you more views as the fan base is very tight. W video tho, typical paryo W🤞

[@sarmada]

Thank you for speaking your mind Paryo 🔥🔥🔥⚡ No one can take away what is meant for you! Every producer gotta keep pushing, come up with more and more ideas everyday to the table. Do more of what their audience love and just keep at it. Keep going up bro. Bless ⚡✨🛸

[@jayy_szn]

love this so much, i appreciate you sharing the experiences and giving advice ❤im still learning how to produce and it can get very stressful when absolutely nothing comes to mind, or when i spend endless hours trying to learn mixing even though it should be a lot simpler. im a huge overthinker and it definitely shows when im producing as well, but this gives me motivation to still try to be the best version of myself and learn that it can pay off if i dont give up💯 well spoken and you definitely deserve the hard work you've put in

[@H0LY.ELY0N]

glad i can be here to witness your journey bro. loving the content 💜

[@yuhreed]

the motivation you generate for the new/up and coming producers is amazing bro you a blessing fr

[@Flouzybeats]

I feel like reading, writing, sports and meditation are the 🔑 habits. My way of meditation would be creating music, cause it is clearing my mind and I can express my emotions freely.

[@ProdbyRusoo]

love the message you spread in this video. its definitely more than just being a producer theirs so much that goes into the lifestyle.

[@emzz7358]

needed this fr. super helpful and insightful. thank you paryo

[@acbeats3994]

this was so nice to hear. god bless you paryo. i hope you have an outstanding life ahead of you. its so nice when creators are vulnerable and speak straight up

[@zumabeatz]

Needed this video, thank you Paryo for the gems in this and for reminding me about the importance of taking care of my health super motivated to go to the gym and make that into a habit before cooking up or starting my day!🔥🔥

[@prodnxbu]

This has seriously helped me with the vision I have for music. Thanks a lot Paryo!

[@Juksuli]

[@ripabeats2005]

This was awesome Paryo. Keep it up! This video really means a lot to me, I honestly thought about quitting producing and go hard on school, but imma try and balance it, and as you said, try and be the best version of my self.

[@wav_lee]

Incredibly affirming and inspiring 🔥 needed to hear a lot of these things

[@RjBeats]

Thank you for posting this. I definitely needed it I’ve been pretty stressed to the point where Ive considered just quitting music all together. But I think I’m just going to chill out and take it slow for a bit and hopefully get back on track soon.

[@vvsmalibu]

[@Jreos_]

[@joako077]

thank you paryo. i need to think again about my decisions in life and how i want to keep this going, i am 17 and i dont really know what to do but hearing your advice from someone almost my same age it helps a lot

[@paryo_]

keep going bro!

[@tomschneider5166]

This was really refreshing to see and Motivated me to Open Up FL daily and make the stuff i Like. Just trying to get a better Producer day by day. Thank you

[@trapbeatproducer]

You speak really well and you're young man! I love your attitude and outlook on life. I also improved my production skill by watching a few of your cookup videos. I just came back from an incredible two month stay in Atlanta and i'm blessed to have been there. I learned a lot, and it's not just about studio. We'd go restaurants, shopping malls, walking through midtown (exercise), gym, like... it's not just beatmaking. It's building relationships that have opened the door for when I return at the end of this year 💪🏽 Great video. Keep doing you 🙏🏽🖤

[@tildenpointer7368]

I definitely needed this to keep going ❤️

[@JCard305]

Thank you paryo really needed to hear something like this is gonna be your year thank you

[@Snapahh]

Thank you paryo, this is exactly what I needed.

[@johnsavas49]

yo like i was just having the exact same thoughts. Like i was talking about how much not safe is to follow the path of becoming a full time producer and like minutes after ending the conversetion and having like these negative thougts, you uploaded the video. Exacly what i needed, thanks. Salute from Grecce

[@taylornihls6353]

first video of yours that I've watched. Kind of came at the perfect time. I constantly overthink everything, but anytime I put something out it's received well. I think it's time to just start throwing things out there and not be concerned that it's not going to get hundreds of thousands of plays. Respect Paryo, good to see a younger (I'm kinda old lol) musician with a great head on his shoulders

[@samix_]

Great video! Sum gems on this one fasho🔥

[@matthewliamhall]

Instant sub my man. Absolutely love this 💙
