Meet Kyle Roy

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kyle Roy. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kyle below.

Kyle, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.

My creativity thrives on diversity. I keep it alive by constantly exploring new forms of art and finding inspiration in unexpected places. Whether it’s producing music with new techniques, or experimenting my artistic side with different mediums. I find that the more I broaden my horizons, the more ideas I generate. This approach keeps things fresh and allows me to push my boundaries creatively.

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?

I play guitar in a band called Aurora View, and I’ve been part of this project for about 10 years—essentially since I was a kid. Over the years, we’ve grown together so much that now we work seamlessly as a unit. Outside of the band, I collaborate with other musicians and bands, helping with writing, producing, mixing, and mastering. What originally drew me to music, and continues to inspire me, is the creative process. There’s something magical about making something you’re truly proud of every time.

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?

1. Passion:
Passion is key. If you don’t have a genuine love for what you’re doing, the work might not even be worth it. Passion fuels you, gives you a deeper reason to keep going, especially when things get tough or progress feels slow. It’s what keeps you driven when external rewards aren’t immediately visible.

2. Patience:
Creative work, especially in music, doesn’t always follow a linear path. You have to be patient with your process, your progress, and even the people you work with. Things take time to develop, and sometimes you need to allow space for growth and experimentation.

3. Collaboration:
Music is rarely created in isolation. Working with others helps you grow, learn, and bring fresh perspectives into your work. Whether it’s in a band or with other musicians, collaboration teaches you how to communicate creatively and how to compromise for the betterment of the project.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

My music production and mixing skills have improved exponentially since I started studying under other professionals. In the past, I had a tendency to be stubborn and figure everything out on my own. While that independence has made me a strong problem solver, I’ve realized that not everything needs to be done in isolation. Working with others has allowed me to refine my skills faster and absorb new techniques more effectively. It’s been a valuable reminder that collaboration can often accelerate growth.
