My guest today comes to me compliments of my long time producer Russ McMahon.  Russ received a serendipidist facebook post from a long lost friend from his days at the famed Interlochen Arts Academy. .  She is classically trained from a very young age starting in Russia.  She received a coveted scholarship to study classical piano at Interlochen which brought her to the United States.  Through hard work and years of indepth perfomance study she became a highly sought after classical pianist.  She is a highly spiritual person and performer.  She is with me today not so much to talk about her career but more about a recent catharsis which has changed her focus and philosophical life's journey.  She is going to talk today about things very few musicians are comfortable sharing. YANA REZNIKhttps://www.yanareznik.com/https://www.facebook.com/YanaReznik/IG:  @Yana Reznik  LOUIE MAX TWITTER: @grindandpivotINSTAGRAM: @louiemaxx, @grindandpivotEmail: grindandpivot@gmail.com Website : www.grindandpivot.com Facebook: Louie Max
