Daniel Jorgensen’s Guide to Creativity

For Daniel Jorgensen, creativity isn’t about waiting for inspiration—it’s about finding it in the world around you. As a composer and musician, he shares three principles that guide his creative process: Listen First: “Before you create, you have to listen. Sounds are everywhere—nature, cities, conversations. There’s music in all of it.” Simplify: “Complexity isn’t always better. Some of the most powerful moments in music come from simplicity.” Evolve: “Don’t be afraid to try something new. Even if it doesn’t work, you’ll learn from it.” These principles have shaped Daniel Jorgensen’s career and helped him create music that stands out for its originality and emotional depth.
