Mindset Over Matter: Overcoming the Imposter Within

One of the most captivating moments of the conference was when Cian delved into the mental aspects of his career. Early on, he grappled with the imposter syndrome that often haunts artists—those crippling doubts that make you question your place in the music world.

But Cian had an ace up his sleeve—a mindset he still holds close. Whenever doubt starts to edge in, he pushes it aside. For Cian, the pursuit of his musical dreams outweighs any transient fears or insecurities. It’s a form of self-discipline that’s as essential to him as tuning a guitar or writing a lyric, ensuring that emotional barriers never eclipse his long-term goals.

The American Dream: U.S. Tour and Venue Bucket List

Eagerly anticipating his U.S. tour, Cian is thrilled about spreading his musical wings stateside, again. He said that the fact that he is going to be headliner more venues this time around than his last US tour, has him excited and ready to explore parts of the US that he has never been before. The thought of crossing the Atlantic to connect with U.S. fans both humbles and exhilarates him.

He also was asked what are some of his dream music venues to play around the world. He said that iconic venues like O2 in London, Madison Square Garden in New York, and Red Rocks in Colorado are dream stages he’d love to conquer, when the time comes.
