Meet Kyle Spratt

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kyle Spratt. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kyle below.

Hi Kyle, thank you so much for making time for us today. Let’s jump right into a question so many in our community are looking for answers to – how to overcome creativity blocks, writer’s block, etc. We’d love to hear your thoughts or any advice you might have.

Writer’s block is still something I’ve been learning to work through but it’s definitely getting better. I’ve been researching Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” and learned that a lot of my creative blocks are either rooted in fear, perfectionism, or lack of input in my life. I can’t have more input (“life-living”/inspiration) than output (music); it doesn’t make sense. So I haven’t completely conquered it but we’re getting there.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I’m an artist, producer, and writer working under the name Spratta. I started out making beats around the start of quarantine—just experimenting and trying to get better every day. Over time, that grew into learning how to record people, then mixing, and eventually led me to pursue a Recording Arts bachelor’s degree at Full Sail University. It wasn’t until about a year ago that I picked up the mic for myself and started writing—not just for me, but for other artists too.

What excites me most about what I do is the way music allows me to translate emotions and experiences into something people can feel. Whether I’m crafting a song from scratch or helping someone else shape their sound, I always aim to make something that hits on a personal level.

Right now, I’m in a really exciting chapter. My single Silhouette helped open a lot of doors, bringing attention from labels, respected artists, and legendary engineers like Leslie Brathwaite and Josh Gudwin. I’m now writing for artists like DC the Don, pitching music to sync companies, and continuing to expand my creative reach.

I’ve got a new single dropping July 4th that captures a confident, energetic summer vibe—blending pop, rap, and new jazz elements. Beyond that, I’m continuing to build my brand with more releases, content, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the process. For me, it’s all about evolving, staying real, and creating things that leave a mark.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Consistency was everything in the beginning, and even now. I was never naturally good at writing songs or mixing music—what helped me improve was showing up every day and doing/learning the work, even when I didn’t feel inspired. You don’t always need motivation, but you do need momentum. I try to treat it like a muscle: the more reps I put in, the stronger I get.

Curiosity kept me growing. Every time I didn’t know something—whether it was how to use a plugin, record someone properly, or structure a song—I looked it up, tried it, failed, and learned. That mindset helped me become more self-sufficient, especially early on when I didn’t have access to high-level resources or collaborators. Stay curious, and don’t be afraid to dive into what you don’t know yet.

Communication became crucial as I started working with other artists and eventually writing for them. It’s not just about being technically good—it’s about understanding someone else’s vision, offering ideas without ego, and building real relationships. That’s how you create trust and longevity in this space.

For anyone early in their journey, I’d say show up consistently even when nobody’s watching, stay hungry to learn, and treat the people you work with like collaborators—not just clients. That mindset will take you further than talent alone ever could.

Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?

One of the biggest challenges I’m facing right now is learning how to let go of perfectionism. When you’re producing, writing, mixing, and recording everything yourself, it’s easy to get stuck in a loop of constantly tweaking and second-guessing. I used to hold back from releasing music or sharing ideas just because they didn’t feel perfect yet.

What’s helped me work through that is realizing that momentum is more important than perfection. I’ve started trusting my instincts more, setting deadlines, and treating each release as a snapshot of where I am in the moment—not the final statement of who I am as an artist. The truth is, nothing ever feels 100% done, and that’s okay. The goal is to keep growing, not to get it flawless every time.
