How I Work Full Time In Music With ADHD

In this video I show some tips that have helped me overcome my struggles with my ADHD diagnosis while working as a full time music producer. I go over my thought process for creating daily routines that create novelty, interest, urgency, accountability, and help me trigger my dopamine in natural ways while also allowing me to be creative and not diminish myself.

Hi, I'm Seth, I've been Songwriting & Producing music for the past 10 years. I made this channel because I couldn't find any music production tutorials in my niche on guitar based pop that actually broke down specific songs from artists like the 1975, LANY, Muna, etc. Every week i make an instrumental from scratch in the specific style of a popular guitar-based pop song and show you how I recreated it. I show you my sample selection, production tricks, guitar tones, mixing chains, mastering plugins, all of it. I've worked with many artists in bringing their creative ideas into the real world. I've worked on projects for Warner Music Group and three songs I've written (and two I've produced) have made it onto Spotify-Curated Playlists (Love Pop, OPM Workday Marathon, & New Music Friday Philippines, Cozy Christmas Pop).
