Meet Noetic J | Recording Artist, Producer, & Audio-Engineer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Noetic J and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Noetic J, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
The amount of work it takes to continue to create quality authentic music consistently as an independent artist with no guaranteed of success. I have been producing my own music from scratch for 12 years now going on 13. I’ve made hundreds of songs and there are many in the vault I’ve never released because their only purpose was for me to experiment and grow. It’s all about the passion and how bad you want it. There are many things out of ones control, consistency and determination are ones within ones control. Recognition is a great motivator but should never be your source of validation. Become your brand and trust the process.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
What sets me apart from others in regards to being a musician is my work ethic, versatility, and constant desire to improve. When I began this journey I wanted full control of the creative process. That drove me to learn how to audio-engineer, produce my own instrumentals and tracks, and learn the necessary techniques to constantly improve my writing skills, song-structure, vocals, and recording process. I release a single every 3-4 weeks and have an extensive catalog that has accumulated over time. The biggest challenge for me that I have learned to overcome is not seeking validation outside of myself. Music is subjective and everyone will have an opinion. If you listen to all the noise you will lose sight of why you create music to begin with. The creative process for me is very sacred and it is a reflection of my expressionism and spirit at the core. The more I create the more my music has become relatable to others.

Another important lesson that I have learned is to have thick skin and take nothing personal. Unfortunately, the music industry can be very cut and dry. Ultimately, it’s a business and it’s important to never lose sight of that if you want it to eventually become a successful and sustainable career. I wear various hats whether as the artist, producer, content creator, or social media marketer. Be the team and eventually you’ll build your team and find the right pieces that can help elevate your career.

Ultimately, I want the world to know that if I can do it anybody can do it. It’s a marathon not a race and my brand is about knowing that you have all the keys within yourself to become successful. I call it “Godfidence”. The innate ability to follow your intuition, block out all the noise, and truly believe in yourself and your abilities. You can’t control all circumstances in life but what you can control is how you respond to it. I always carry an unwavering confidence in my belief of self and in God.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I have been living in Decatur, GA for a little over 5 months now and I must say that I am still figuring out my favorite spots in the city. I have yet to fully explore what this wonderful state has to offer. I do really want to check out the Atlanta Belt Line along with all the brewery’s that the city has. I run a beer review channel on Youtube called “BeerDojo” and one of my goals in 2023 is to visit and rate brewery’s signature beer(s)!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Nobody’s success is ever truly done alone without the help of others along the way. My family (Mom, Dad, and 4 brothers) deserve all the credit in the world for supporting me throughout my journey. Without them, I would have never built a music studio in my families basement (pretty professionally if you ask me). Without that foundation, I would never have been able to put in my 10,000 hours. I also want to shout out 2 of my best friends Black Seas and Ryan Whitfield who both pushed me to continuously believe in myself, elevate my skills, and reminded me to always have fun along the way. There are many others who played roles throughout my journey and for that I will forever be grateful.

There are 3 books that have had an impact as well. Those 3 books are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
