We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jetpack a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Jetpack thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?

Creating art brings me profound joy, a state where barriers dissolve and thoughts recede, leaving only the pure focus on my music. Yet, the harsh reality emerges like a glimmering pebble sinking into the depths of a dark ocean. Within the realm of music, competition exists not merely in terms of skill, originality, or sound, but rather in contending with those who possess ample resources to finance elaborate marketing endeavors, flaunt opulent lifestyles, and produce visually captivating music videos—all with the ultimate aim of elevating an individual to stardom. At times, I find myself contemplating the notion of a conventional occupation, a contemplation shared by many artists. In this industry, one’s financial success often hinges on extremes: either reaching great heights or languishing in the shadow of those pursuing more traditional vocations.

Jetpack, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a humble musician, not deeply entrenched in the labyrinth of the music industry, but rather striving to carve out a path for my own creative expression. While I engage in mixing, recording, producing, and mastering on the side, I hesitate to label these endeavors as my primary occupation. What distinguishes me from others is my commitment to understanding the nuanced desires of my clients—be it in terms of sound, emotion, or atmosphere—and endeavoring to deliver a product that not only reflects my dedication but also brings joy to those I serve. Among my repertoire, there exists a piece that holds a special place in my heart: “Prototype.” This composition stands as my magnum opus, a testament to my artistic vision and craftsmanship. To all who are intrigued, I invite you to explore its depths across all available platforms.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

The central aspiration guiding my creative journey is fostering a sense of connection and solace among listeners. Through my music, I endeavor to cultivate an environment where individuals can commune with their innermost selves, finding solace and acceptance within the confines of their own being. It is my fervent wish that my work serves as a catalyst for introspection, emboldening others to embrace their authenticity and embark on a journey of self-exploration and self-acceptance.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most fulfilling facet of being an artist lies in the act of creation itself. It’s akin to breathing life into the void, conjuring existence from the ethereal realms of imagination. Crafting something out of the void, from the depths of nothingness, is a transcendent experience that resonates deeply within the soul.
