    This interview is one of my favorite so far, why? Because Serik goes deep into the technical aspects of music production--mixing, layering, composition, etc. But he also shares his story and talks about how he went from being a marketing manager at a lifeless company to full-time artist.

    So, while it's incredibly motivating, there's also a lot of practical advice in it.
