Meet Drmagdn Cyborg Drummer / Dj

 

We recently connected with Drmagdn Cyborg Drummer / Dj and have shared our conversation below.

Hi DRMAGDN, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.

Something I found in life is that happiness, optimism and success are all verbs and not nouns. They are all not feelings to experience but instead actions that you have to spend time, effort and organization in achieving as actual actions. The biggest mental shift that I made to keep my optimism and success at a high level is to start with the end goal in mind and work backwards all the way to exactly where I am today.

For instance, I want to play Madison Square Garden sold out as DRMAGDN: Cyborg Drummer / DJ. I’ve played The Winter Olympics, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, Royal Albert Hall and tons of other huge venues, but never MSG.

So what I would do is put myself in my mind’s eye as playing that solo headlining show and work backwards. How did I get there? Well of course I had to have at least 10 huge massive worldwide viral hit songs. So that means, I have to write and record those hit songs. Then I have to promote those hits until they pop off on social media. Then I have to have enough press and connections to open those doors to actually play a sold out show. Now I have my success blueprint since I already achieved it in my head and now all I have to do is actualize that success plan from today.

This whole flipped perspective allows patience, growth, learning, understanding & self-exploration in the whole journey. It could take 10 years, it may take 10 months or it could even take 10 days if something hits big enough quick enough with enough virality. Remember, you are always just one hit away from having your whole life changed overnight.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

1) Persistence – If you never give up, you can literally never fail. Where there is a will, there likely is a way. It may be crazy, unorthodox or through some crazy little known back door, but there is a way to reach your goals. The persistence not only goes for reaching your goals, but also for your own stubborn positivity leading the way yourself.

2) Hard Work – Opportunity is usually missed since it shows up wearing overalls and looks like hard work (cause it is). There is no substitute for hard work with a smart plan with a tried and true system to get to your goals. It’s going to take hours of meticulous practice, actions, execution and tons of time. Can’t say it will be easy, but can say it’s worth it.

3) Organization – Remove any and all friction with completing all your tasks small or large. Some things may seem silly: do them anyway. Maybe you need to setup your workspace in reverse so you actually complete tasks quicker. Just do it. Organizing yourself and staying consistent with your productivity & output will ensure long-term success.

One word of advice: Be gentle and nice to yourself on your lifelong journey. Be your biggest fan and best friend, because it’s going to be quite a difficult and intense journey to the top. Keep those positive self vibes going 100%.
