Episode 10 of the Burnt Ships podcast drops this Friday! Join us as we speak with Spotify Queen and Filipino voice extraordinaire, Trynket, who breaks down what it means to have artistic integrity, experience personal growth, and maintain resilience in the face of criticism and hardship. We break down Trynket’s journey in the music industry, her album project "Tea with Trynket," and the all the lessons she learned along the way. One of the most profound messages from the episode was the importance of trusting your instincts as an artist. Trynket emphasized that new artists often seek validation from others, leading to confusion and a loss of self-identity. Amidst the myriad of opinions, it's crucial to take a moment and ask yourself what truly resonates with you. She states, "At the end of the day, what you feel is right, what you feel is good inside instinctively, you should go with that instinct.” Recognizing your personal vision and motivations can guide you toward your creative path and potential. Overcoming the naysayers, Trynket pushed past the skeptics and critics to achieve success without prominent backing, using criticism as fuel to push harder, turning doubts into motivation for success. "You're going to go through so many haters and naysayers... Just add it to like the fuel that you're going to get later," she explains. This attitude not only strengthened her resolve but also led her to significant milestones, being featured on official Spotify playlists, being selected as an official SXSW artist, and more—showcasing the power of perseverance.
