United States23 days ago - So helpful and engaging
Love listening to these three independent artists who do this stuff day in and day out—songwriting, producing, mixing, content/marketing, and all the hidden tricks of being a DIY artist. It’s so helpful to hear from guys that actually do it and are successful, rather than online gurus who don’t know what it’s like to really be an artist.
