how brushing your teeth can help write your next song

Aug 26, 2025

Investing in your artist journey is a scary step, but what's even worse? Squandering the investment. 

As VU attendees, you just met producers, songwriters, choreographers, photographers, vocal coaches, entertainment lawyers, mental health coaches and learned so much from their expertise. 

Then you went back to real life. Did you keep what you learned? How do you implement it into your day-to-day? Not doing as much as you hoped? Here are our tips to integrate more artist-focused habits: 

1- write down your "ah-hah" moments and keep them visible in your daily routines to keep the motivation going

2- go through your notes from classes to reflect on what changes could create the most impact for you and pick 1 or 2

3- habit stacking is a favorite tool to implement new and lasting practices. Find something you always do and stack something you *want* to do right after it.

    • Old habit --> new habit
    • Get out of bed every day--> drink a glass of water
    • Brush your teeth--> journal/song write
    • Drive to work--> warm up your voice

The VU team is here to support you as you implement these sustainable changes to your artist journey. Watch for our mixers, house shows, and monthly LIVE TALKS to connect with our team, ask for advice, and keep up with your newfound community.
