    Why Isn’t Great Music Enough Anymore?

    Jay Mills is a Columbus artist, producer, engineer and videographer who has spent more than a decade learning every side of music. In this episode, Jay breaks down the business behind being an artist, why making a good song is only the beginning and how his bedroom recording setup became a recognizable part of Columbus rap. He also talks about the mushroom experience that strengthened his belief in God, finding his God-given talent, building a legacy after loss, staying coachable, refusing to rely on presets and why he does not want to release music without a real plan behind it.

    An Artist and His Lost Minecraft Channel

    Years ago, MIMIC deleted his childhood Minecraft channel because he was worried about what other people might think.

    The Artist Certain He’ll Build a Music Empire From His Mom’s Basement

    An independent artist living in his mom’s basement says he’ll build a music empire — and he refuses to sign with anyone to do it. In this episode of Look at the Water Hole, we talk about certainty before success, self-engineering, long-term vision, refusing deals, and why he believes independence is the only path forward. This isn’t about hype. It’s about conviction — and whether that conviction is enough. 00:00 Introduction00:02:18 Living in His Mom’s Basement00:08:47 Refusing to Sign Any Deal00:15:32 Building a Music Empire Independently00:22:10 Self-Engineering and Full Creative Control00:30:45 The Three-Disc Vision00:38:12 Why He Believes It’s Inevitable00:46:05 Long-Term Strategy vs Quick Fame00:54:20 Closing Thoughts Follow Kayy Whyy Beacons: https://beacons.ai/001kayywhyy?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioSoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/byrie2balloutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/2k.yrieEven: https://www.even.biz/artists/kayy-whyyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKStNQgC-pl18WKRBxGisgg Explore More Chaesar Videoshttps://www.chaesarvideos.com Custom Vinyl Recordshttps://www.chaesarvideos.com/shop #KayyWhyy #IndependentArtist #MusicEmpire #UndergroundArtists #LookAtTheWaterHole #ChaesarVideos
