    Long term or otherwise, realistic or not, list them.

    Mine are to
    • produce my next album, and get physical copies of it
    • produce a horror themed album
    • work on a soundtrack for a video game or a movie of some kind, maybe a tv show
    • compose a symphony of sorts
    • work on other peoples albums more. i've got one guy I'm trying to work with now to produce songs form, I'd like to do more and branch out and network a little this way
    • I'd like to someday do a show for one of my albums, with visuals playing out on a screen to the songs like a movie, with live instrumentation of the entire thing
    • get a blog feature somewhere for something I've done
    • I'd love to find a label to get on of like minded producers, be it big or small, just to have some sort of family of producers to work with and have some marketing and promo going. if not, i'd like to start one
    • i'd love to get a decent following online, just to know I'm reaching more people
    • i'd love to work with some of my favorite singers like Troye Sivan, and some of my favorite producers/groups like Nero
    • do more collaborative projects and work with more features
    • learn piano
    • live off of my creative work in the future, or be in a situation that would allow me to work creatively as my 'job' somehow

    • Get my 16 albums out in a proper fashion.
    • Get recognition and blow up.
    • Hopefully try to work this independent thing out. I read Noreaga saying that being an independent artist sucks, I don't know if major is the way for me but my music isn't mainstream in any fashion.
    • Shake off this "troll" perception that is effecting my music.
    • Collaborate
    • Get a tour going.
    • Get physical copies for my other albums
    • Make hip-hop work for me, I chose this path and I can't look back now.
    • Make a 60's album, funk album and 80's inspired album.
    • Get featured on a song.
    That's about it for me.

    do you have these planned already or something?
    meant to add something like this to my list

    i really want to work in other genres for a second at least. i know my sound has continually evolved and changed over the past couple years, from project to project, but I want to pursue some side projects (maybe under a different name?) that go in a far different direction, maybe something more industrial sounding. i played around with the sound when i first started and then abandoned it, same with a straight up EDM sound. i want to create all the time but I'm not always in the mood for a dark and emotionally driven downtempo hip hop/dubstep sound. i want to make other s---, but i can't actively pursue or release in those genres much if I want to keep my main sound intact for my projects under Cyreides

    Holy s---... Those are very ambitious.

    1-4 you may actually be able to do if you had another major label backing you. I know ScHoolboy Q has Interscope behind his back. Jay Rock's 90059 was an independent release but to be a superstar you need a major label.

    5 is going to be hard as f--- due to the fact that the Super Bowl wants non-offensive pop stars and such. Rap hasn't been wildly huge at the Super Bowl since 2004 when nipplegate happened.

    I know what I'm capable of, I got god on my side.

    The NFL offered Outkast a lot of money back in the day to perform at the Super Bowl, but Andre shut them down.... Kendrick will perform there soon... I can do it, I believe in myself.

    My creative goal is to ultimately stay inspired and to work with even more exceptional people.

    It's definitely a blessing to have the right people around you who are also willing to push any boundaries.

    Pretty much this.
    And I'd like to work with other artists other than just the local ones.
    I don't really have any major goals because I know my music is not good.

    • Exponentially grow my online fanbase
    • Have my song played regularly on the radio
    • Work with some of my favorite artists
    • Make a living off of my music career (touring, selling songs and merchandise, etc.)
    I've been lucky enough to have already accomplished many of my creative goals that I never imagined would happen at this point in my life, so hopefully I'll be able to achieve these other goals in the near future *fingers crossed*
