Today we’d like to introduce you to Ghoulsby.
Hi Ghoulsby, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
I started making music as a kid on an old iPod Touch that I downloaded a music editing software on, and it always just felt natural to me making music and tracking instruments on top of each other. As I got older, I got a program for my computer and a 30-dollar microphone and began making my first full songs and eventually went on to make my first EP and from there the music world started opening up to me.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I feel like in some essence being a musician is a constant struggle, at least at this level. But I think that’s a part of it that I love. I love the chase and the challenge that comes from having to force yourself out of your comfort zones. The hardest part is without a doubt the mental game. Dealing with insecurity and comparing yourself to other artists and feeling like you’re not good enough or not talented enough is definitely the most difficult part that I’ve personally dealt with in being a musician
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Being an insane fan of music my entire life being a musician just felt like the only option for me. I don’t think there’s anything else I wanted to be since I was a kid. Growing up listening to bands like Gorillaz and My chemical Romance really shaped the foundation of my music taste, but I definitely always challenge myself to evolve and stay creative with my sound. I always say that I think 14-year-old me would be distraught at the KIND of music I make now but I see that as a good thing because it shows the evolution I’ve made as an artists in the last decade.
What would you say has been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
That failure is necessary, and everyone is in the same boat. The amount of people I’ve met, even very successful musicians, who say they have no idea what they’re doing and are extremely afraid of moving forward is remarkable, but I truly do think that most people feel lost in life and that’s OKAY. There’s never a real “destination” people hit where they feel like they’re “done” or at least no one I hang out with. And I think that’s a very important lesson to know that you’re not alone in your wandering.
