An Artist and His Lost Minecraft Channel

An Artist and His Lost Minecraft Channel

Years ago, MIMIC deleted his childhood Minecraft channel because he was worried about what other people might think. What started as a story about old YouTube videos turned into a conversation about creativity, insecurity, perfectionism, faith, identity, and learning to accept the parts of yourself you've spent years trying to hide. Look at the Water Hole is a long-form interview series documenting underground artists and creatives from Columbus, Ohio and beyond. 00:00 Introduction 00:07:32 The Lost Minecraft Channel 00:20:15 Seeking Approval 00:36:24 Identity & Creativity 00:55:03 Embrace Your Freckles 01:09:56 Closing Thoughts Follow MIMIC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artsmimic/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/artsmimic?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mimic/1679467776 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/42YNSZpfNUUvxgaDa6jDfe YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@artsmimic SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/tobi_hill Chaesar Videos https://www.chaesarvideos.com Custom Vinyl Records https://www.chaesarvideos.com/shop #MIMIC #LookAtTheWaterHole #ChaesarVideos #ArtistInterview #IndependentArtist #Creativity #Music #Podcast

The Artist Certain He’ll Build a Music Empire From His Mom’s Basement

An independent artist living in his mom’s basement says he’ll build a music empire — and he refuses to sign with anyone to do it. In this episode of Look at the Water Hole, we talk about certainty before success, self-engineering, long-term vision, refusing deals, and why he believes independence is the only path forward. This isn’t about hype. It’s about conviction — and whether that conviction is enough. 00:00 Introduction00:02:18 Living in His Mom’s Basement00:08:47 Refusing to Sign Any Deal00:15:32 Building a Music Empire Independently00:22:10 Self-Engineering and Full Creative Control00:30:45 The Three-Disc Vision00:38:12 Why He Believes It’s Inevitable00:46:05 Long-Term Strategy vs Quick Fame00:54:20 Closing Thoughts Follow Kayy Whyy Beacons: https://beacons.ai/001kayywhyy?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio [https://beacons.ai/001kayywhyy?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio] SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/byrie2ballout [https://soundcloud.com/byrie2ballout] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/2k.yrie [https://www.instagram.com/2k.yrie] Even: https://www.even.biz/artists/kayy-whyy [https://www.even.biz/artists/kayy-whyy] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKStNQgC-pl18WKRBxGisgg [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKStNQgC-pl18WKRBxGisgg] Explore More Chaesar Videos https://www.chaesarvideos.com [https://www.chaesarvideos.com] Custom Vinyl Records https://www.chaesarvideos.com/shop [https://www.chaesarvideos.com/shop] #KayyWhyy #IndependentArtist #MusicEmpire #UndergroundArtists #LookAtTheWaterHole #ChaesarVideos
