Hey friends from the internet. 👋
2025 was both the best and worst year of my life.
This was my first real shot as a full-time creative business owner. The experience is just as freeing as it is terrifying. While I'm extremely grateful to get to create as my job, it can get mentally overwhelming.
But, I don't want to harp on the bad, that's what therapy is for. What I want to share with you are my goals and projects that I'm setting for the new year coming.
The theme of the new year is consistently creative.
I tried to reinvent myself so many times this past year, that I completely lost track of what is important - just making things that I love, and loving the things I make. I preached it, but I didn't always show it.
I'm doubling down on my consistency as a creator. It's not about making content, it's constantly keeping myself creative.
So, here's my projects and goals.
Release a Full-Length Album
Right now, I'm writing a collection of songs with a central theme around them, and I don't want to pre-overhype them, but there some of my favorite songs I've ever written and produced.
I have a working title, but that could very well change.
The only thing I can say, is this is what it sounds like.
Collaborate on Projects
Every year I say to myself, "Okay, I'm opening my books for production!", and then I take on way more than I can handle and it gets super overwhelming. Well this time, I finally planned ahead and built a better system.
Collaboration is something I wish I would've done more in the past year. While it was great to work on myself and continue to sharpen my craft, the very few times I spent working with others was the best kind of fuel for my creativity.
So, if you want to hire me for full production, partial production, session work, or mixing/mastering, the project request form is live! Keep in mind, just so I can pace myself, I'm only going to be working on singles at a time.
I launched a new site for my new production studio, Radical Creativity Studios.
Check it out here.
Bring Back YouTube Memberships
That's right baby, YouTube memberships are coming back!
Now that I have some more time to focus on community and bonus content, here's what you can expect from the members only content:
- Monthly feedback on your music livestreams
- Production and mix breakdowns
- Free stems from the songs on the channel
I'll be launching this in January. Really looking forward to this one.
More Creating With Care Campaigns
It was honestly really amazing to see this community come together and raise money for a great purpose. My goal is to launch more charity campaigns throughout the year.
I'll be trying to meet up with some fundraising experts to learn a little more about the craft. If any of you have experience with professional fundraising, feel free to shoot me an email!
Radical Creativity Apparel
I've been wanting to release lifestyle clothing for a while, but never just wanted to put the brand name on a t-shirt and call it good. I'm currently learning how to draw, so my plan is to do fully custom designs to make actually cool apparel.
The goal is never to just sell something for the namesake. I want to make visually beautiful things that radiate creativity.
That's sort of the big picture items. Here's a quick rapid fire list of other goals and projects:
I have big ideas and plans for 2026, but none of these things would be possible without your support. I'm truly grateful for everything this community has helped me build.
You guys have always allowed me to try new things, and I finally feel like myself in my videos.
Looking forward to what is to come.
See you in the next newsletter,
Trev ✌️
