We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Noah Koroman. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Noah below.
Noah, 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 do not truly believe one can “overcome” imposter syndrome per say, but we work through it and recognize it for what it is and what it stems from in order to better manage it. Similarly to one’s anxiety. This sort of thing stems from one’s ability to recognize patterns, internally and externally, and their own assessment of self, in what ever predicament they may be in. It’s a natural biological response to your surroundings when you’re met with a simultaneous stagnant environment. In simple terms, this all stems from self comparison.
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 make a number of different styles of music, primarily in the electronic realm. I love to create art overall, it’s a blessing to be able to do so and work with some of my favorite artists and friends.
I’ve always been drawn to creating and pairing visuals with my music as well, so this works as a great outlet to do so.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Passion, persistence, and attention to detail.
All of these things tend to ebb and flow, nothing is a constant however I think these things can really help one build skillsets in any field.
One bit of advice I give to new producers is to focus on quantity over quality because this allows the quality to improve AND the fluency in what ever craft you’re working in.
I remember back in around 2015 or 2016, I wanted to get better at making a certain style of music so I set myself a goal of making 3 fully structured out song ideas per day. This resulted in my workflow improving quite a bit.
What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?
Be very supportive of me and my goals. I’m so grateful for the both of them and am happy that I get to be close to them in the way that I am. They’re the best!
I previously lived on the other side of the country from them but now I’m back at home it’s been nice seeing them every day.
