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

Majeska, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

The creation of my upcoming album, “IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO FEEL NOTHING!” has been one of the most life-changing journeys I’ve ever taken. This album might’ve been created by me (and a few others, whom I am so grateful to), but this album created me. It changed me. It challenged me. I am (thankfully) not the same person as I was when I began writing these songs in my one-bedroom apartment in a quiet neighborhood of Nashville. I’d written 4 or 5 of the songs before realizing I was writing an album. I spent a year writing more than I ever had in my life—almost daily. I had track lists scribbled in notebooks; draft after draft this album evolved and changed. Songs were recorded and thrown out. Songs were re-recorded. Certain songs surprised me when they came out—like some magical force was sending me a message. But standing back from it as a finished body of work now, I see that I was finding the songs and the right story to tell, yes. But in the end, I also found myself.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

“IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO FEEL NOTHING!” is not just the name of of album, it’s how I live and how I create. I’ve worked to foster an inclusive community that not only accepts the outward expression of emotions, but encourages it. I make sure my fans (friends) know that anytime we are together—at shows, etc.—we dance, cry, laugh, and feel everything together. There is power in emotions when you experience them next to others feeling the same thing. It’s human, it’s vulnerable, and it’s real. Enough in this world is artificial and deceitful. I think we’re all craving things that feel real. So I plan to continue being so honest in my art and in my life that it scares me—so that others feel they have a space they can be purely themselves. ‘Cause that’s when I think the real stuff happens.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Connection. When a song goes from a voice memo started in my bedroom at 3am, to a song we sing together at shows or a song someone tells me got them through something if their own? That is my why. It’s freeing to take something you would think is so personal and make it so universal.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

Oh yeah. There’s a video of Stevie Nicks on YouTube if you can find it. She’s getting her make-up done backstage prior to a Fleetwood Mac show. You start to hear a couple band members in the room start playing one of her then-unreleased solo songs. The way she lights up and starts singing it makes me tear up almost every time. You can feel her pure unfiltered love for her unfinished creation. She sings right to her make-up artist who stops doing her job, and everyone in the room goes quiet. I like to think everyone there understood what was happening was real magic. I watch the video before every show.
