For New BTS Fans - 10 Great KPop Acts
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where the maligned, forgotten, and ignored burn the stage. 2019 was an amazing year for the KPop septet BTS. With the success of the insanely catchy "Boy With Luv" off their EP Map of the Soul: Persona, KPop reached mainstream audiences more effectively than ever before. Psy's "Gangnam Style" may have been a very popular novelty, but it was still nothing more than a novelty. BTS, meanwhile, became an act that got mainstream pop fans excited like few modern acts could.

The Power of Hip-Hop Duos
Hip-Hop has become a dominant genre where it also opens the door for collaborations. For years, fans have been given great collaborations between two big artists at the time and loved it. The greatest collaborations have given us classic songs or albums that have remembered for a long time and I feel these are the best ones or ones to come.

Limiting Beliefs Are Hindering Your Creative Growth
Let’s go back about 7 years, when I was really struggling. I lived in a small country “town” (it’s actually a city, but not really) and I wasn’t happy with how things were going. I wanted to grow musically and do great things, but I felt like I couldn’t.

7 Music Production Tips I Wish I'd Paid More Attention To. Top Story - January 2020.
Years ago, after I got past the very beginning stage of learning how to produce music, I started to ignore a lot of “basic” advice I would hear when I was looking for ways to get better.
