COVID definitely made 2020 an interesting year. Having no choice but to be inside every day really changed my mindset and daily routine. I spent a lot of time writing songs and learning more about the technical side of music production. A lot of great material came from me just sitting down for hours and hours every single day, studying my favorite producers and trying to figure stuff out on my own.
I made a lot of original music during that time but I think the most eventful thing I started doing was TikTok. I started uploading videos of me playing covers of popular songs on the violin and people really enjoyed them. In a couple months I had over 100K followers and many of those people have become fans of my original music.
It was also a good time to take some time for myself. I read a lot of books and watched a couple TV shows I’d normally never have the time for. My favorite book from that time was Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark and my favorite TV show was Stranger Things.
I also took advantage of all the time at home to take care of my health. I went for a run every morning and walks in the evening and even with things slowly going back to normal I still do it every day. Looking back, it’s all kind of a blur but I know I made good use of the time and didn’t let the circumstances stall my progress.
