1. How to Create Fearlessly and Write Every Day: Inside the Mind of M11SON

In the very first episode of the “loves music” podcast, I sat down with Philadelphia-based artist M11SON – singer, songwriter, and co-founder of the Sacred artist collective — for a raw, thoughtful, and at times hilarious conversation about the realities of being a modern-day creative. We talk about what it’s like to carry songs in your chest, why making “bad” art is necessary, and how he’s managed to write thousands of songs while also crafting books, scripts, and full-length albums. Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or someone trying to reconnect with your creative self, this one’s for you.We Chat About:The moment Eminem’s “Rock Bottom” made him feel less alone—and sparked his desire to do the same for othersHow writing songs in a college laundry room led to a lifelong creative ritualWhat it means to feel creatively “burdened” and how M11SON channels that into his artWhy writer’s block is a myth—and the daily habit he recommends for every artistHow Sakred, his artist collective, helps musicians build cohesive, story-driven projectsThe link between emotional intensity and artistic output (and why you can create from joy too)His predictions for the next wave of music—and why stadium rock might be making a comebackAbout M11SON:M11SON (pronounced Mason) is a Philadelphia native who works in multiple mediums of art and always in multiple genres.
