The 1% Rule, Dopamine, & Hypocritical Producers Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Music Producers, as we work diligently towards our goals, we must be aware that there exists an energy within us that can't live if we expect to thrive long term. In today's podcast I break down how hypocrisy, insecurity, and passing judgment on others is in direct conflict with the successful producer you wish to become. We also discuss the 1% rule, the role dopamine plays in sound selection, my album with Murs & Dee-1, what defines timeless music, & Slap Expert's newest pack Cupcakin.

KYLE BEATS Talks Beat Making, YouTube Grind, & Resiliency Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

Music Producers, in a YouTube world of creators doing whatever they can to get your attention, KYLE BEATS has dominated by doing the opposite. In his own cool, calm, and collected way he has built a die hard fanbase creating the music and covering the content that he wants to cover. From his cinematic behind the beat videos to his super transparent vlogs, who you see in his YouTube videos is exactly what you get when you meet him. However, as you will hear in this podcast episode, there is so much more to his story.

In his first podcast interview, Kyle Beats goes in depth with Curtiss King about how he got into making beats, how he found success on YouTube, how he stays inspired, and how he has developed an undeniable resiliency during the most difficult times of his life.

Long Live The Black Mamba Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

I needed a second to sit with my thoughts on this one. I like a lot of people around the world have been in a haze since the Sunday that this tragedy occurred. I needed to reflect not just as a die hard Laker and Kobe fan, but as a human being. I don't know if I'm processing it all correctly, but that's the least of my concern at this moment. What's more important to me right now is to honor them all in a way that was with class. Speaking about my experience this past week was therapeutic and I hope it brings you light to an otherwise dark week for many of us. Today's episode of The Curtiss King Podcast is dedicated to the legendary Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, John & Keri & Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah & Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, and pilot Ara Zobayan. Today's video will not be monetized, just shared.

My 35th Bday, Food Poisoning, Timbaland & Wale Showing Love Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

I debated on not releasing today's podcast due to the news we all received yesterday about Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and their friends that passed away in a tragic accident in California. But we recorded this podcast episode January 23rd on my 35th birthday and I felt like it could help those that are currently grieving and anxious about the future. In this episode we discussed everything from the joy of getting older, the power of dominating with kindness, and Timbaland and Wale sharing my video content that week. I would of preferred to make this a Kobe dedication Podcast, but we will save that for next week. For today I want you guys to enjoy the life in this podcast and more importantly the life behind the eyes that are reading these words. Love you all.

How To Unlock Your PUREST Music Producer Form Jan 20, 2020

Show notes

Music Producers, when you are seeking out tutorials and quick tips on YouTube, what are you TRULY searching for? Beyond that temporary answer you are seeking, what is your ultimate goal and or destination? Is it to become a perfect Music Producer? Is it because you believe that answer to all of your Music Producer problems is the concept of MORE?

What about those elusive questions that you can never seem to get a solid answer to? I believe the reason you haven't unlocked the answer is because you are searching for what can only be found where you are searching FROM. My apologies if this comes off like I am talking in parables but today's episode does a better job explaining exactly what I mean.

Make Music Producers Have FUN Again In 2020 Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

Music Producers, before you set your 2020 new year resolutions watch this podcast. When was the last time you asked yourself, am I having fun making music anymore?" I know that towards the end of 2019, music wasn't fun anymore for me. Monetizing what originally started off as a hobby had finally run it's course. However, after some deep soul searching and truth seeking, I found my way back. Now It's my goal to help producers that have gotten so caught up in the business and promotion of their music that they stopped having fun entirely. In 20202 Let's Make Music Producers Have Fun Again!

How To Get Into Your Flow State As A Music Producer Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

Music Producers, over the past few months I've been reading a lot about the power of FLOW STATE. For those that have never heard of FLOW it is often referred to as being in a ZONE. FLOW STATE finds us as Music Producers when we are so fully immersed in our beat making process that we lose track of time and the necessity to overthink the process. Scientist say that when we reach a FLOW a part of our brain called the Pre-Frontal Cortex (Responsible for emotions and overthinking) temporarily shuts down.

For a producer like myself that OVERTHINKS the process often, especially on live streams, this topic intrigues me, Especially when I learned that there's actually a way for us to get to this state on a regular basis. Well, not only did I achieve myself these past few weeks, but I believe that I have figured out a way you too can consistently tap into your Music Producer FLOW STATE.

Atlanta Made Me LOVE Making Beats Again Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

The past few months I found myself falling deeper and deeper into state of uncertainty. The worst part was that I couldn't quite pinpoint what was driving me down into such a dark hole. In the midst of the dark period I made a commitment to giving myself the self care necessary to turn it all around. I wasn't making any music, but I started doing things like going for daily walks, going to the gym, journaling, and meditating.

However, it wouldn't be until I took a last minute trip to Atlanta for my Producergrind and Cymatics interviews that I was able to get back on track. In this podcast episode I discuss the details of my trip as well as what exactly happened that gave me back my LOVE for making beats again.
