Meet Eon Easel

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Eon Easel a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Eon, first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.

I think imposter syndrome is something that is very easy for artists to feel. Especially in todays artistic and musical landscape. There have been plenty of times where I feel inadequate or don’t feel my own full confidence as a musician due to a number of different external factors that really at the end of the day didn’t matter all that much. I’ve learned over time that the only opinion on my music that matters is mine. My own love of music and the confidence that I have knowing that I’ve put the time in technically and creatively to craft my art is what assures me in my own creative journey. I’ve seen my own progress being true to my craft and that is something no one can take away from me. It fuels me to become even better and to see how far my love for music can take me.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’ve been making music seriously since 2019 and casually since middle school. I think my original inspirations were making beats on school lunch tables while my friends would freestyle to them. I eventually got my first copy of FL Studio and started to progress from there. Helping my friends Aaron Alexander and Play Odds with their Radiant Child project really reinspired me musically and helped put me on the track I am today.

Currently I’m working on my next project which I’m very excited about. I think my next progression as an artist is improving my ability to make songs people resonate with and I’m hopeful this project will be able to resound within my community. I think having a vision of something you want to make in your head and then the challenge of going after that is what fills me with excitement. The ability to see, build and create something that other people can enjoy.

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

The three qualities I think that have been most impactful to my journey are creativity and the general ability to think outside the box, believing in yourself and understanding your own value despite what others may say and lastly sheer perseverance and wanting it bad enough. I think if you have a good dosage of those three things success is only a matter of time. I think it’s important to be very intentional about these parts of my artistic life and to meditate on them. It’s easy to get taken off the path but remembering why I’m doing it and these 3 things always gets my inspired.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I’m always looking for more musicians to collaborate with. I look for people who take their craft seriously, love what they do and are willing to think outside the box and try new things.
