For me as a creative and more specifically , as a musician , vocalist , pianist um , I need to have a certain environment to be able to create , and you know I need to . Uh , my space needs to be organized , um , I can't have a lot of clutter , a lot of things all over the place .
I need to have some type of structure and , um , some organization to what I am doing , um and to my environment . And this is so important because it allows me to To create . It's such at such a high level , and it allows the space for me to to to do my thing , effort , effortlessly .
And so I want to , I want to encourage you guys out there to be able to Really set up your environment where it's a room , whether it's in the basement , whatever , wherever it is , um , I want you to make sure that you create an environment that you're comfortable in , you know , and that you are able to create and write your music , or whether it can be
outside of music , whether you're writing a book , you're doing your painting , whatever you're creating , whatever you're creating , you know , make sure you're creating a process , um is is Set up in such a way where you can just step right in and get straight to work . So for me , you know , in my space I , of course , I have my , my desk .
I have my , my um Music production . I have a desk from all my you know equipment , stuff like that . I have a place . I have books down here , um , in the basement , um , I have my lights for when I'm shooting , my youtube stuff I have , you know , I have my guitars out , because who's the acoustic guitar and bass guitar ? Um , I have my uh art work up .
You know people who inspire me . You know I have all these amazing things , that which my wife , you know , puts together , forming wishy , comes up with a plan , and we put this thing together .
But , uh , all these things that I have set up down here puts me in a certain headspace and and puts me in a in a certain certain energy , and the room has a certain energy to it . Um , that allows me to come down , whether I'm writing some music , whether , um , I'm writing a song , working on a project which is right now .
I'm working on my , my new project , project that's going to be coming out kingdom radio In december uh of this year , 2023 , december 23rd it's going to be dropping , and so I come down here and you know I uh Start , you know I write some music , or if I'm recording them in the recording phase .
You know , I start recording my stuff and so , um , and like I said , I already said earlier that I this is where I shoot my my youtube videos on my social media Uh , videos my shorts and things of that nature , and so it is . It is set up for the right Environment and , and maybe some people work better in clutter I'm not one of those people .
I have to have some level of order and um , so I'm I'm going to challenge you guys to to think about .
You know , how do you want your space to be set up , even if it's a small space , it doesn't have to be A big space , it can be a small space , it can just be your room , it can just be a space in the basement or if you're in apartment , you know , it has some , some space there when you can go and and pick up your instrument , whatever you're doing ,
um , you can create at the highest level and you know , uh , I don't think we , we and think I don't think we talk enough about this . You know it's also helps with clearing your mind . You know saying have your mind , clear your mind , as I had to focus on too many things . Stuff is in the way . You don't have to focus on all that .
It really gives you a great space to just jump straight in and make things happen . And , um , this is how it's been for me for years . You know , environment has always been the thing for me . It's always . You know , I always had to have a neat space , um , have my , my production stuff set up .
You know , I may have my lights , have my , you know , all my stuff that I that I need in place or , you know , um , or I can just grab it . You know , it's not too far and it's grabbing and go , you know , and so this is super important and and I encourage you guys , you know also , you know , dive into some artwork .
It's very important to have some artwork up . I have um Beethoven , at least the version that , the version that we know . Um , you know , I've heard of that . Of course , I don't have proof that he possibly was a person of color , but you know we see the white version . But anyway , um Beethoven , I have composers , great composers or poster that I have .
I have Quincy Jones . I have Oscar Peterson . I have Miles Davis . I have different people up that inspire me , even people outside of that realm . I have Bill Gates . I have Warren Buffett . You know I have different people here that you know put me in a place to get creative , to be inspired , to be encouraged , and so don't be afraid of that .
Make sure your environment , that space , even smells good because it lifts your spirit , puts you in a great mood , it allows you to be optimistic . There's all these amazing things for you , and so you know it's very important .
This is even before we get to the practicing and writing music , or painting or writing a play or whatever it is that you're doing , or writing your book . This is where we can get to that . Your environment needs to be dialed in , you know , and don't think that you have to spend millions of dollars to do that . You do not have to spend a bunch of money .
You can have a nice small budget and just make sure your furniture is arranged a certain way , make sure you have certain things in certain places , Make sure it's functional , you can move around . Make sure your equipment is where it needs to be , you can access it easily . All these things are super , super important for your creative environment .
Now you might be thinking , might be thinking what does that have to do with music ? Everything it has to do with music , it has to do with creativity , it has to do with all these things . Even when God was creating the heavens and the earth , there was an order to it . The first thing you say it was let there be what Light , all right .
So there was an order to him creating the heavens and the earth . And so if God has an order , then we definitely need to have order in our environments to be able to create , at the highest level , all these things .
They do things for your mood , they do things for your mindset , your energy right and put you in a place again to be optimistic , to know that great things are ahead . And so my challenge for you is to get into a great place where you can change your environment , elevate your environment , all right , so that you can be the best you can be All right .
