2.) Who is SyKi The Mind? (Pt.2)

2019-2020: Origin of SyKi, Career Beginnings
2019: SyKi, The Mind & The Soul, creative processes
Following a series of lost musical content written and recorded under several former stage names and alter egos, spanning from 2010 to late 2019, "SyKi" was conceptualized based on the artist's ventures and self discoveries regarding aspects such as the *manifesting capabilities of the human mind, universal laws, mindfulness and other related concepts which the artist explored for the sake of improving his mental health and quality of life. 
After a reported 6 suicide attempts, *borderline personality disorder diagnosis and attending mindfulness sessions as part of his *DBT treatment, Emmanuel created the alter ego known as SyKi (alternate spelling of "Psyche"), which would serve as his official creative identity and was regarded by the artist as an embodiment of his*subconscious mind and *higher self. 
What differentiated 'SyKi' from the artist's former creative aliases was in the awareness that the artist would be able to use his song creation processes as a means of conditioning his mind through memorizing lyrics containing descriptions of greater levels of aspects his identity and more pleasant and abundant life experiences. Included in the nature of what SyKi's music and other creative content would be intended to cover was sceneries and descriptions of the artist's future experiences and character, reflections of spiritual insights and practices, philisophical and psychological commentary, attempts to inspire and enlighten listeners to tap into positivity and humanity as well as expressions revolving around the music industry and modern society. SyKi also intended for his music to be a therapuetic means of emotional expression and a "way to vent".
The concept of SyKi was subdivided into the categories named 'SyKi The Mind' and 'SyKi The Soul' to aid in the classification of songs. 
SyKi The Mind songs were intended to be the more egotistically charged songs, often executed through *rapping, delivered through fast paced, lyrically complex and multi-syllable rhyme schemes. These songs being forms of SyKi's mental programming; stating positive affirmations or serving to convey philosophical, spiritual, psychological and societal based messages and tell stories. The lyrics of the SyKi The Mind songs would also combine these topics on occasion.
SyKi The Soul songs were to be the more emotionally charged songs, "from the heart", mainly performed by singing in tender and soothing melodic tones over alternative, dark RnB, indie rock, pop, deep house and musically experimental backtracks. The content would include subjects such as romance, spiritual devotion, depression & suicide, *awakening and experiences of elation, magic and tranquillity.
SyKi described the categorizing of his musical content as an aid to his lacking of creative limitations.
