Kelly Boesch On Impostor Syndrome

 Another superb effort from Kelly B . . . . .

Kelly says in a revealing note:

Kelly on Impostor Syndrome


This song is about my horrible imposter syndrome that I live with and try to get over. This has been a strange and wild ride. I have lived my life pretty simple and quiet and started making these videos, then music just for a fun hobby. I never in my life thought it would take off like it did. So it’s hard sometimes to feel like I deserve it. I do know I am good at this but am also having a hard time admitting it. And now, with millions of followers across platforms, including Spotify (which was a shocker all in it’s own) I sometimes feel the pressure to have to do better and better with each video, instead of just making what I want to for fun. So I try to just do that. Make what I want to make, not what I think would please the most people. Creating with ai, for me, has been the most incredible experience I have had in my artistic life. The possibilities are endless. In video, images and music. I started making music just as a necessity for background to my longer videos. I started loving writing again and really take the time to make the songs good. I am just as artistic with the music as I am with the video. I want the songs to sound different and reflect the feeling of the video. I am so thankful to all of you who have sent message about loving the music. That part was really such a wonderful bonus. Music and art are connected and this new genre really reflects that. :-)

I hope she got my message of support on Facebook but how you suffer from Imposter Syndrome with these talents shows what an unfair world it is and how people are mistaking so called AI for lack of something and not tools to creativity as Kelly uses these very particular technical skills and she is absolutely correct here about art and music and some new form of creativity (anyone remember what the first responses to synthesizers and the computers Fairlights and such were a ‘threat’ to music?!)
