Voice Matters Now

As CEO of Eckenrode Muziekopname, I have always been driven by a strategic and visionary approach to our work in music production. However, it has become increasingly clear that my personal voice and values must take center stage in order for us to create truly meaningful and impactful content. This realization has led me to make some important decisions about the direction of my creative pursuits.

Firstly, I have decided that my CEO Speaks podcast will no longer rely on fictional narratives or subterfuge to convey my message. Instead, I will be speaking out directly and honestly about the political and economic climate in which we find ourselves today. My voice, as an educated individual with a unique perspective on this world, is crucial in contributing to the ongoing discourse surrounding these critical issues.

Secondly, I am making a shift in my approach to music creation. The Living Room Music by N8K99 project will now focus solely on capturing the raw emotion and depth of thought that comes through when I sit down at the piano. No longer will I be swayed by trends or chasing after what others may find appealing; instead, I am committed to letting my fingers dance across the keys in a manner that best expresses my own unique vision and ideas.

These changes are not without their challenges, as balancing solitude and collaboration remains an ongoing struggle for me. However, I believe that by staying true to my personal values and beliefs, I can create work that resonates with others on a deeper level. This newfound authenticity in my creative pursuits will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on both the quality of our productions and the message we are able to convey through them.

As I continue down this path, it is essential for me to maintain consistency in my daily creative practices. By dedicating time each day to honing my skills as a musician and honing my voice as a political commentator, I am better equipped to navigate the complex landscape of our current society. This commitment to consistency will also serve as an example to those around me, inspiring them to find their own voices and use them to make a difference in the world.

In conclusion, it is through these changes in my creative approach that I hope to leave a lasting impact on both the music industry and the larger political discourse. By staying true to my values and beliefs, I can create work that resonates with others on a deeper level, fostering an environment of open dialogue and understanding. As CEO at Eckenrode Muziekopname, I am committed to leading by example and using my platform to effect positive change in the world around us.
