some things to keep in mind when working with artists of different musical backgrounds: - listen actively and have open communication - encourage open dialogue where everyone feels heard and understood. - research and understand their background - set common goals - respect artistic freedom - build personal connections - be adaptable - flexibility shows you value the collective success of the collaboration over indvidual preferences

try to show genuine interest by learning about their background and influences, making space for their voice in the creative process. try to communicate clearly and respectfully, listening as much as offering input. try to stay flexible and collaborative, allowing the music to grow organically from mutual trust.
