Today's guest is Amy Peters, who is a pop singer / songwriter and producer based out of Nashville.
I was in a songwriting bootcamp with her and was blown away but her tracks, so I wanted to bring her on. This conversation is a great look into the mind of someone who is extremely talented, and pretty early in her career. I think it will be really helpful to many of you.
We cover topics like...
the benefits of mastering one piece of gear at a time instead of trying to learn everything at once
how she got her music video funded as an indie artist
the benefits of doing a studio based training program over a college degree in music
the exiting growth of female representation in the music industry
how she broke into nashville without college as a buffer
how growing up with a dad who was a music professional changed her life
her side hustle of doing voice overs for commercials
what it's like listening to music with synesthesia
why she stopped producing (and why she eventually came back)
the difficulty of separating her art from herself
and much more!

Figuring out a direction for your music career can be tricky. Unlike many "traditional" jobs, you don't always know what a clear path to success looks like in music.
That's why Seth Mosley (and the rest of the crew at Full Circle Music) created a roadmap for artists, broken into "baby steps". We wanted to have Seth on the podcast to talk about his journey in music and to share his advice for artists looking to make a career of their passion.
Topics we hit on in the conversation:
the dangers of jumping full time into music before you're ready
why most artists search out record deals at the wrong point in their career
how to use altruism to create better music
why he decided to come off the road and dive fully into the production and business side of music
why he cofounded Full Circle Music
why you shouldn't try to do it all at the same time (how to harness the power of "baby steps" instead)

Have you ever tried to play music in real time with others over a zoom call?
If so, you probably quickly found that latency (the delay between the time you play a note and they hear you and vice versa) made that task all but impossible.
Today's guest, Mike Dickey, solved this problem and we wanted to get him on the podcast to share the amazing implications this has for the future of online collaboration.
We talk about:
How and why Mike created a device that allows you to play music with others with no noticeable latency What really is latency? And what causes it? How latency happens even when you're "in person" Why the question of latency is more complicated than just internet speeds How Mike sees this tool and technology being used in the future music industry how to get started using this new tool / technologyFind Mike Online:

When Webster Tileston first heard about Dolby Atmos (also known as "Immersive Audio") he was fascinated as an audio engineer... but ultimately he assumed it would soon pass along like many other audio trends. But when word that Apple Music, TIDAL and many others were interested in adding Dolby Atmos streaming to their platforms, he took a second look.
Now Webster and his business partner run a Dolby Atmos Enabled Mixing and Mastering Group in Nashville and he took the time to sit down with us and explain what you need to know about this new exciting technology.

Many have said that finding the right songwriting partner is very similar to the process of finding a romantic partner.
So what if we could use an app to find fellow songwriters simply by swiping? That's what Richard Casper and Kevin McCarty bet on when they created We Should Write Sometime - an app referred to as "tinder" for songwriters.
On today's episode, I chat with them about this game-changing app and the many implications for songwriters and artists all across the globe.

2019 was a rough year for me (Andrew). Professionally and personally.
In this solo episode, I get more vulnerable than I have before and explain what went wrong this year and how I'm working to make sure 2020 looks different.
P.S. If you're worried because of the title that this will just be 54 minutes of me complaining - don't worry. If you also had a tough year or the best of your life, my hope is that this episode helps you go into 2020 the right way.

Here is Part 2 of my conversation with Seth Alley. If you haven't already, be sure to go back and listen to Part 1 first.
When we left off, Seth had just left his record deal.
So he did the obvious next thing... changed his name and became a rapper.

That's exactly what we cover in my conversation with recording artist and songwriter Seth Alley.
Get an inside look into getting the record deal of your dreams...
and then walking away from it.
A story more common than you'd think - that gets a lot less airtime.
