Meet Autumn Brown

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Autumn Brown. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Autumn, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

I developed my confidence and self-esteem through living in my humanity. As humans, we do a lot of different things; some are super cool and some are mortifying, I think tapping into my emotions and the perspective of just experiencing life as it comes has helped me a lot with building the confidence to share my creations and be who I am. I don’t dwell on the past too long or think too far ahead anymore. It helps me focus on creating good moments whenever and however I can.

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?

My name is Autumn Brown & I go by AUTM VALOR in the creative sphere. I’m from JXN, MS and I’m currently 24 years old. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been a huge fan of good music and at 10 I started gaining a serious interest in how music is created. I participated in any activity that would get me more experience with it. I started writing songs for fun whenever I had an idea, & I started diversifying my music library by asking my older cousins for their old cds. From there, I started to get into figuring out how to bring song ideas alive through music production. I found an online digital audio workstation and started tinkering with it. I quickly became enamored by it all and this has been my main focus in creation for the past decade or so. I deeply enjoy developing ideas into physical reality and bringing joy into the world as much as possible. That’s why all my hobbies are other creative endeavors like DJing. I love music and I also enjoy bringing my community together for a good time. I believe everyone deserves an opportunity to feel safe & joyful. I want to make a positive impact on the world with my art. No matter how minuscule it might seem in the grand scheme of things. I want to enjoy my life, express that, & hopefully shift our collective reality in a more positive direction.

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

The three qualities that have been the most impactful along my journey have been persistence, patience, and passion. These three things will take you as far as you want to go. Being persistent with something that I’m passionate about allows me to have more patience when overcoming challenges that I face while creating. I would say the best way to hold these virtues is to do your thing, but take a step back every so often to recognize where you are and appreciate the process of getting to where you want to be.

Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?

The number one obstacle I have been facing lately is imposter syndrome. Sometimes I feel like I’m trying too hard to be an artist even though I already am one. To combat this feeling, lately I’ve been trying to focus on one idea at a time and move it to completion. I’ve had issues with starting things and stopping before it’s completed because I feel like it’s not good enough, but that’s not very helpful when it comes to beating imposter syndrome. That’s why I’ve been doing my best to set my creations free in the world to flourish.
