Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Cole Soileau. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Cole , thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?
I don’t, it keeps me alive.
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 write music that makes people question everything. I provide a new perspective from an abstract view in my work that not many artists wanna touch on nowadays. I feel people really get a part of me when they hear what I worked on and I always wonder how they interpret it. Check me out on all platforms as ‘Cole Soileau’
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?
Honestly, ‘the ability to persist no matter how hard it gets’.
That one has gotten me pretty far, probably the farthest, especially in this industry.
‘Being versatile in your skill sets and building around yourself, your vision, your soul’ is a skill within itself that I think is very important, but also knowing how to navigate the industry and its complexities is for sure the first thing an artist needs to learn..
Being a team player is definitely the vibes.
I would recommend that every Artist early on plans out who they’re going to be in 10 years based on a vision of how to improve themselves and how many eras they might switch off into. Manifest with action and persistence and never give up and try to be really dedicated because this isn’t just a dream. Your sanity basically depends on it so it’s like there’s always that fire under you even if you’re feeling sunken in. The best way you can develop and improve yourself is just keep learning from your mistakes, but just keep improving your work like it’s a sculpture.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I would love to be able to collaborate with EKKSTACY and open for him at a show. I wish he would invite me on stage to play drums for him one time hahaha. That dude is so sick and he’s honestly got angel powers. Kid’s mad different. Can’t go wrong with EKKSTACY!
I would also be extremely hyped to be able to collaborate with Brendan Yates from Turnstile. They are one of my favorite bands in the game right now. A Cole and Turnstile collab just makes sense I mean cmon.
Realistically, for now, I’m trying to form a band and get something moving, so I’m not doing this solo anymore.
