Mikey Vee, a rapper, songwriter, producer, and eventual director from Daly City, California. Mikey defines artistry as the tangible expression of one's self and manifestation of one's soul. He believes that artistry involves having a vision, seeing it through, and executing it, although he clarifies that artistry is not necessarily dependent on sharing it with others. Mikey encourages people to create in silence, even if it's on an intimate scale, and he believes that this too can be considered art. 00:00 - Intro 03:11 - Definition of Art and Staying Motivated as an Artist 04:51 - Finding Inspiration in Everyday Life 07:24 - Originality and Impostor Syndrome in the Arts 11:30 - Imposter Syndrome and Overcoming Self-Doubt 13:38 - "Overcoming Performance Anxiety Through Repetition" 15:09 - Artist Ron: Exploring the Power of Taste and Inspiration 23:19 - Taste and Inspiration in Art 28:27 - Exploring Different Career Paths and Creative Ideas 30:32 - Improving Music Production and Video Making Skills 32:02 - Upcoming Collaborations and Recycling Old Verses 34:10 - Creative Process and Upcoming Projects
