From š productions to DJing festivals in the desert
Todayās message is about one of our own
Let me introduce my brother from Jordan - Fuad
Fuad is one half of the duo Fairplay, and one of the OGs of my music-making community.
When Fuad first joined us, he was struggling.
His workflow? Messy.
His tracks? Stuck in endless loops.
His desire? Sky high
His self belief? Dangerously low
Bottom line he was frustrated and was getting evermore lost in the production woods and the never-ending youtube wormholes of production tutorials.
"Iād convinced myself it was impossible to finish anything," he told me.
At the time, Fairplay had a couple releases out
But the process was slow and painful.
Finishing tracks felt like a chore and our man was ready for something different.
Total honesty - Fuad was actually the FIRST person to ever join me for coaching, and is one of the nicest humans Iāve met on this journey.
Now, despite the pandemic madness that was going on and zero gigs in sight,
Fuad decided to bet on himself and came and joined our community for warm hearted shyly ambitious electronic music makers
He wanted more finished music, more releases, and a clear path forward.
So what happened?
Fuad went from messy garbled process to:
- OrganisedĀ
- Confident
- And consistently releasing music he likesĀ
He used the proven processes we shared with him to build what he calls his "production bible"āa set of steps he can actually follow every time he hits the studio.
He used our Musicians Mindsetā¢ Training to get out of his own way, stop obsessing and striving for perfection, and just started get sh*t done.
He took advantage of the Unlimited Personal Feedbackā¢ from me, to help understand which tracks needed more work and which didnāt
And eventually he found it easier than ever before to crack the code with the right kind of labels, because he had oodles of wicked music to send.
"I learned to accept the process for what it is, keep it simple, and get it done," Fuad said.
Since joining us about 4 years ago, Fairplay have been involved in no less than 30 releases
Including EPs and remixes with Bar 25, Night Colors, and Kindisch. Alongside projects with Still Vor Talent, local collaborations in Jordan, and remixes for Kiki & Gui Burrato.
They routinely head off to tour different parts of the world šš»
"Every time we release a track, I think itās the best weāve ever doneā¦ and then we surprise ourselves again."
Fuadās not stuck anymore. Heās finishing tracks, releasing them, and having some adventures.
If youāre ready for 2025 to the the year you stop hoarding private SoundCloud links and start releasing music people actually hear,
Drop me a message with the word READY.
Big love,Tee
PS And they pretty much hit a million streams last year š with everyone's least favourite liberty taking streaming platform
