The Upper Hand 28

“You sit here and you're consumed by self-doubt and you just know you can't ever do it again and that you're a fraud and you should be phoning the studio right now and telling them, "Find yourself a real composer, I can't do it, I can't do it." And then suddenly something happens....”

That’s Hans Zimmer reflecting on the creative process AFTER claimed an Oscar for his masterpiece in “The Lion King”.

Hanz Fucking Zimmer.

The man is a genuis.

The Lion King, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Inception, Dune, Gladiator…..

When Hanz Zimmer is staring at a blank page, preparing to write a soundtrack, he too battles imposter syndrome!

I was fortunate enough to witness Hanz Zimmer live in Dublin.

It was magical.

At times, we tend to forget these superstars are just humans too.

I can’t explain why, but it brings me comfort that someone as talented and experienced as Hanz Zimmer battles with these inner demons.

During SCOOP in a couple of months, when CDarwin, Lena, WatnLos, Malaka and the boys are making my life hell, I’m going to try remember this.

Bye for now, you BEAUTIFUL Fucks!
