Great interview and very informative. Something all new young artists should hear so the don’t just think you can be a star overnight. That you should learn the craft. An added bonus at the end is a beautiful song by Gail Lou.

love this podcast!!

If you have a passion for the music industry or just like music in general, this is the podcast to listen to. I’ve retained so much useful information from these podcasts and they also opened my mind to parts of music I never knew about before. I definitely recommend listening!!
