Why Make Music… Episode 038 – “Do or Do Not… There Is No Try”

DJ Warm Cookies (aka Willa May) takes over hosting duties solo as ThinkTimm attends to family matters. (We send our condolences to ThinkTimm on the loss of his grandmother.) But the show goes on with a Star Wars twist: "Do or do not, there is no try." Willa May channels Yoda’s wisdom to deliver an inspiring message about fully committing to creativity.She discusses how embracing technology – from ChatGPT and AI voice-cloning to DAWs like Logic Pro – can empower independent artists. The episode also celebrates ThinkTimm’s incredible first year: six self-produced albums released (156 songs!) and teases his next project, which will feature vocals for the first time.Throughout this monologue, DJ Warm Cookies keeps it real and lighthearted, emphasizing the DIY spirit behind ThinkTimm’s journey and why artists sometimes go quiet on social media (hint: they’re busy making art!). It’s a fun, motivational episode that encourages you to stop "trying" and start doing. May the creative Force be with you!Follow @ThinkTimm, @djwarmcookies, @whymakemusic, @wdmnation on social media and visit ThinkTimm.com">https://thinktimm.com">ThinkTimm.com for more.
