In this short episode of For Artists Figuring It Out, Tom’s tackling one of the most damaging myths in the music industry, that you need to find your genre to stand out.
If you’ve ever panicked about not having a “clear sound” or not fitting into one genre, this one’s for you.
Here’s what we’re covering:
- Why genre doesn’t matter as much as personality
- What fans actually connect to
- Why forcing a genre might be holding you back
- A quick mindset shift to help you show up more authentically online
Instead of asking “what genre am I?”, ask “how do I make people feel?” That’s your niche. Build your content, your visuals, and your community around that emotional story, not a box someone else created.
