We were lucky to catch up with ENIX recently and have shared our conversation below.
ENIX, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
Honestly, it came from pouring everything into the music. Every song helped me understand myself more. Rather it was my worth, my voice, my story, etc., once I started being real with myself in the studio and allowing myself to feel more in control, the confidence followed naturally.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Growing up, music wasn’t just something I listened to — it was something I needed. I wasn’t always the loudest in the room, but I felt things deeply. And when I couldn’t say it out loud, I’d throw my headphones on and let the music speak for me. That’s when I fell in love with it — not just the sound, but what it did for me.
I remember being a kid, hearing songs that made me feel seen, even when no one around me really understood what was going on inside. That connection… it stuck with me. I started writing, humming melodies, messing around with sounds. It wasn’t polished at first — it was just honest.
But everything changed when my uncle stepped in. He’s been like a big brother, mentor, and motivator all in one. He saw something in me before I was even confident enough to own it. He gave me space to grow, to mess up, to figure out who I was as an artist. More than that, he pushed me — to be sharper, more honest, more intentional with my sound.
A lot of the artist I am today came from those early nights locked in with him. We weren’t just making music — we were building a foundation. He taught me that my story matters, and the way I tell it is what sets me apart. That’s where my sound was really born — between pain and purpose, confidence and vulnerability.
Now, it feels like everything’s starting to align. People are connecting with the music. The audience is growing. But I’m still tapped into the same mission: make music that feels real. That means something. That reminds people they’re not alone.
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?
For me, the three most impactful things in my journey so far have been self-worth, self-guidance, and structure — especially when it comes to scheduling, networking, and promotion.
First off, self-worth is everything. Once I realized I bring something unique to the table, that confidence started to bleed into my music, my presence, and the way I moved. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will either.
Second, self-guidance — because there’s no one-size-fits-all blueprint in this game. I had to teach myself a lot, trust my instincts, and make decisions that felt right for me. Not just following trends or waiting for someone to hand me a path.
And lastly, being intentional with scheduling, networking, and promotion made a huge difference. It’s not just about creating dope music — it’s about making sure the right people hear it, staying consistent, showing up, and being present in the right rooms. Discipline turns passion into progress.
My advice to anyone just starting out? Protect your vision. Move with intention. Build a routine that keeps you grounded, and connect with people who genuinely believe in your potential. And most importantly — know your value before anyone else does. That’s how you stay solid.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
Right now, I’m reading “Atomic Habits” by James Clear, and it’s already had a big impact on how I move day-to-day. The way he breaks down how small habits stack into major results really changed my mindset.
As an artist, it’s easy to get caught up in the big goals… the streams, the promo, and, the numbers. This book reminded me that it’s the little things, done consistently, that really shape your future. Whether it’s taking time in the studio to work, even on days I don’t feel inspired, staying on top of my schedule, or just protecting my mental space. Those small choices add up.
It’s helped me stay focused and intentional. That’s where real growth comes from, not just talent, but discipline.
