Crowdsourcing Creativity: How I Use Social Media to Fuel My Artistic Fire
In the "dark side" of the music business, artists are often told to stay in the studio and wait for a "vision." But for me, the most refreshingly original ideas don’t come from a quiet room—they come from you.
From my 2023 freestyles to the professional polish of ‘FEEL’ in 2026, my creative process has always been a conversation. Here is how I use social media to stay grounded and humble while building a global sonic tapestry.
1. The "Intimate Meet-and-Greet" Strategy
I don’t look at TikTok or Instagram as just "promo tools." To me, they are digital meet-and-greets. When I go live or read your comments, I’m looking for the internal reality of my fans. Your struggles with the "streets not being safe" or your search for existential introspection become the lyrical backbone of my songs.
2. Testing the "Sonic Tapestry"
Before a track like "YEYO" hits Apple Music, it usually starts as a snippet on my story. I watch your reactions. If a melody resonates, I lean into it. This isn't about chasing trends; it's about crowdsourcing the vibe. It ensures that when the final version drops, it’s already an emblem of original sound that speaks to our community.
3. Turning "Societal Critiques" into Collaboration
When I post about the "dark industry" or the pressures of being a musical maverick, your responses help me refine my message. Many of the lines in "Better Move on" were inspired by direct conversations I had with followers who felt the same way. We are building a trailblazing figure together.
4. The "K-Pop Cupid" Feedback Loop
The aesthetic of the "K-Pop Cupid" persona—the fashion, the visuals, the "Cupid" energy—was shaped by your feedback. By listening to what you love about the Lagos-to-Global transition, I can keep the brand refreshingly humble yet visually stunning.
Why This Matters
Social media can be a "dark side" of noise, but it can also be a vessel for truth. By letting you into my process, I’m ensuring that my artistic freedom is supported by a community that actually cares.
