How to Overcome Perfectionism & Finally ...

OLIVIA AMITRANO
About this episode

Ep.142 Here is my invisible string theory. Fifteen years ago, I used to sit in my childhood bedroom and listen to a group called The Jackie Boyz. Cut to 2024, and the universe truly has its way because I'm now releasing my very first album co-written with Carlos Battey, who is now known as Jackie's Boy. This is an episode that has been a long time in the making. I'm honored to share his story with you today and introduce such a special guest to the What's The Juice community as my music producer and co-writer. We are diving into Carlos's career as an Executive Producer, Songwriter, and Artist as he takes us through his journey, starting in recording studios at the age of 13 to moving to LA to write for artists like Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Flo Rida and how he eventually eventually went on to sell over 40 million records.

 

HERE THE JUICE:

  • The importance of pursuing a gift for music and not allowing perfectionism to stand in the way of progression
  • Carlos breaks down an original song that he wrote, processing a difficult time in his life and how that song was reworked to become one of Justin Bieber's greatest hits.
  • The truth behind what happens in a studio writing session and the break that led Carlos to a career of selling over 40 million records
  • The profound importance of showing up through fear and why pain can be such a driving force in creativity
  • The leadership and direction needed to work with a room of creatives – Carlos breaks down the importance of looking at a song in small pieces in to create the product
  • What collaboration looks like at such a high level and where the magic and beauty of collaboration really comes from

 

MY FIRST SONG, “ANOTHER LOVER” IS OUT NOW ⭐️❤️🥲
