It can get more than ‘Smelly Cat’ awkward. This is true for any industry you go for. However, I feel that many assume that working in music, or anything entertainment related, is 100% glamorous and chill. Hold your horses! As mentioned in my last interview, it’s a lot of work and behind the scenes coordination! […]
It’s a dream, isn’t it? To be a full time musician, to be on tour, and play with Grammy nominated artists? But it’s no 24 hour party. Brandon Gilliard has been performing since he was a child. He studied hard as a Music major at Anderson University, and has been collaborating with an impressive roster […]
Reblogged from Felice mi fa: If you go to enough auditions, or do enough performing, you will start to hear the phrase “make bold choices” over and over. The idea is that in an audition, or on stage, no one wants to see you play it safe. You can’t just sing through the aria without […]
When I was a kid, one of my favorite Disney characters was Figment. Well, duh, because he is a dragon. But also because his mission statement, so to speak, was all about imagination.

“I gotta leave here in a little while to go do a soundcheck. But I’m just so close, I’m staying at the W in Boston and I just…I walk right across the street. Literally. Right across the street. I’ve never been at a hotel where I could walk right to the gig. It’s so amazing.” […]
I’m going to say right now that this post is not about music, but it’s very important. I have a ton of blog posts ready to go-interviews, personal essays, etc. But this week has been a nightmare for many people I know, care about, interact with…and the city I live in.
