We were lucky to catch up with Astrus* recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Astrus*, thanks for joining us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
Learning to record and mix your own vocals is more simple than people think. It just takes patience to really get where you want to go. But i learned a lot from youtube, just looking up tutorials and how to do certain things. The hardest thing was getting the equipment and software because at the time i didn’t have much money. But it’s the best investment any artist can do. Recording yourself is way easier and cost effective than paying a studio. It’s more hands on so you get the sound that you want. Writing and practicing new things is also good. Making sure you know every aspect about your craft is key.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I am Astrus*. I am a musician from Dallas, Tx. I got into music at a really young age and started posting on Soundcloud when i was around 13. i stayed consistent with dropping music then started doing videos for them. That’s when everything changed. I started doing my own shows since no one booked me and started making a name for myself. Since 2017 It’s been a rollercoaster and has been an amazing journey. I think being a versatile artist really makes people gravitate towards me and i love it. I’m happy with everything that i have accomplished and this is still the beginning.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
For starters you are doing something you love. Once you can start living off of it, is when it’s more than amazing.
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
I think competing with yourself is the best thing anyone can do to create a better them. That’s what i’m doing, and that’s what drives me. As well as my family and friends.
