How's music To You?

Something I’ve been thinking about: balancing creativity and business. Some days I’m deep in songwriting mode, other days I’m learning how to position myself better as an artist. How do you all split your time between making music and building the business side of your career? Curious what routines work for you.

I like melodies. In fact, maybe i like them a little bit too much 😄. When i start a new piece i normally start with the melody and then find fitting chords to accompany it. Most of the times this works ok but when it comes to writing an underscore type like track, i really struggle, because my melodies tend to be to active. So basically the typical problem of overcomplicating things 😅. Can you guys recommend some sort of exercises to get better at this type of composing / Do you have some tipps , when it comes to writing such tracks ? Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone, couldn't hold back and finally recorded a video about this topic. I have worked with many composers so far and listen to hundreds of trailer tracks (actually it must be probably over a thousand by now 😅) and almost everyone is exactly doing these same mistakes over and over! Make sure to follow these suggestions, then you will have success in this industry. Your music will be licensed and heard!
