Eskmo's Harmonious Path: Music, Mindfulness, and Mental Health
“For me, meditation isn't a way to get away from pain and suffering. It's a way to be with it and to learn how to work with it.”
What happens when an electronic music producer and a mindfulness enthusiast collide? You get Eskmo, a composer for hit shows like 'Billions' and '13 Reasons Why', sharing his unique journey on 'Wolf In Tune'. In this episode, Eskmo opens up about the rollercoaster ride of his musical career, from performing across Europe to scoring for television. But it's not all glitz and glam.
He dives into the stressors of life on tour, including isolation, neglected physical health, performance highs, and that nagging imposter syndrome. How does he cope? Through a profound relationship with meditation and creative consciousness. Eskmo discusses his training in Vipassana, a form of meditation that has been a game-changer for him.

But it's not just about sitting in silence; he also finds mindfulness through climbing and exercise. Eskmo's insights are a breath of fresh air for anyone navigating high-stress environments. He emphasizes the importance of staying authentic in music composition and challenges himself—and us—to grow both as musicians and individuals. His story is a powerful reminder that mindfulness isn't about escaping life's pains but learning to work with them.
Tune in to hear Eskmo's inspiring journey and discover how music and mindfulness can harmonize to create a balanced, fulfilling life.
