Every genre has its own language—and production is a huge part of it. In this episode, How to Produce Your Song According to Your Genre, we talk about how production choices shape how a song is perceived and why genre awareness matters more than expensive plugins or complex techniques.

We break down how to identify the core production elements of your genre, when to follow the “rules,” and when breaking them actually works. Whether you’re producing pop, indie, worship, folk, or something in between, this episode helps you make intentional decisions that support the song instead of fighting it.

Do you really need to sound treat your room to make great music? In this episode, Do You Need to Sound Treat Your Room?, we talk honestly about what acoustic treatment actually helps with—and what matters far more than foam on the walls.

We break down when sound treatment can make a small difference, common misconceptions about home studios, and why a strong performance will almost always outweigh a “perfect” recording environment. If you’ve been putting off creating because your room isn’t ideal, this episode is a freeing reminder that great songs start with great performances—not perfect spaces.

Why do some songs take off while others—just as good—never seem to catch fire? In this episode, Why Some Songs Catch Fire and Others Don’t, we unpack the mix of timing, emotion, context, and momentum that turns certain songs into breakout moments.

We talk about why quality alone isn’t enough, how audience connection and storytelling play a huge role, and the difference between forcing a moment and letting one grow naturally. From algorithms and playlists to human psychology and repeat listens, this episode reframes “success” and helps you focus on what you can control as an artist.
