The Power of Delusional Confidence

Not pursuing your art is more impractical than the temporary hardships of an artistic path.

On this episode of Beyond the Blueprint, we sit down with Cybèle Fasquelle, a singer-songwriter, producer, and founder of Mix Music, whose journey moves across continents, disciplines, and creative worlds. Born in Paris, raised in Beijing, and now studying at Harvard and Berklee College of Music, Cybèle is building a life where psychology, storytelling, and music collide.

But her path hasn’t been simple. Surrounded by peers pursuing consulting, law, and medicine, Cybèle had to confront the same question many creatives face: Is choosing art actually practical? Instead of waiting for opportunities to appear, she started creating them: co-founding Mix Music, a student-run platform that connects young artists with real industry experiences.

In our conversation, Cybèle opens up about the mindset that keeps her moving forward, what she calls “delusional confidence,” the radical belief that your vision can become reality even when the world tells you otherwise. She shares stories about overcoming doubt, protecting your creative identity, and learning to define success on your own terms.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt pulled toward a path that doesn’t quite fit the standard mold and wondered if they're brave enough to follow it. 🎙️
