We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Aashiyana Patel. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Aashiyana below.
Aashiyana , appreciate you making time for us and sharing your wisdom with the community. So many of us go through similar pain points throughout our journeys and so hearing about how others overcame obstacles can be helpful. One of those struggles is keeping creativity alive despite all the stresses, challenges and problems we might be dealing with. How do you keep your creativity alive?
As an actor and musician, I keep my creativity alive by constantly practicing my crafts every day. I dedicate time to rehearse for roles, write new music, and experiment with different techniques. Taking acting and music classes helps me refine my skills and stay inspired. Additionally, I make sure to spend time in nature and engage in mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga to stay grounded and open-minded. Consistent practice, ongoing learning, and finding balance are key to keeping my creativity vibrant and evolving.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
In my acting career, I strive to bring depth and authenticity to every role I undertake. There’s something incredibly special about stepping into another person’s shoes and telling their story. This deeply empathetic process allows me to connect with audiences in meaningful ways. As a musician, I focus on creating music that resonates on an emotional level. I love experimenting with different genres and sounds to craft songs that are both personal and universal. Music is a powerful medium for expression and connection, and I aim to create pieces that people can relate to and find solace in. One of the most exciting aspects of my work right now is the new songs I have been writing. I hope to release them very soon for you all to hear! What makes my journey special is the continual evolution and blend of disciplines. Whether through acting or music, my goal is to touch hearts, provoke thought, and foster a sense of connection, as well as inspire and support the next generation of creatives.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back, three qualities have been most impactful in my journey: resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning. Resilience is crucial in the entertainment industry, helping me stay persistent through setbacks. For those early in their journey, it’s important to develop a thick skin and not take rejection personally. Adaptability has allowed me to pivot and adjust to new roles, styles, and situations, so I encourage stepping out of your comfort zone regularly. Continuous learning has been invaluable; there’s always something new to learn, whether it’s a new technique or a business skill. To those starting out, never stop seeking knowledge—take classes, read extensively, and learn from those around you. Focusing on these qualities will help you navigate the challenges of your creative journey and find success.
Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?
My parents have been incredibly supportive of my acting and music career, constantly encouraging me to follow my dreams and providing unwavering support along the way. Their belief in me has been instrumental in helping me overcome challenges and develop essential skills. Along with my parents, my overall family has always been there to offer support and motivation. Additionally, my acting coach, Michelle Tomlinson, has played a significant role in my development, offering invaluable advice and guidance. I’m also grateful for my friends, who are always supporting me and lending a helping hand whenever I need it. Their combined support has been crucial in my journey towards success.
