How to quit social media (as an artist).

Why do I look like Steve Buscemi saying "How do you do, fellow kids?" Quitting social media as an artist, musician, or creator can feel like cutting off the rest of the world. In this video, I share my experience as a musician who quit social media last year. I cover the benefits and downsides of getting off of Instagram, TikTok, BeReal, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter. One day, I may go back to social media. Heck, I may even start a YouTube channel. But for now, these apps are far away from my mind and I'm happier than ever. ABOUT ME I'm Nick, a singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles. On this channel, I talk about my life in LA, my creative process, and my music journey.
