Kev’s Perspective

In this episode, I had Brady aka Grhyme back on the podcast making it his third appearance! I like having Brady on for deep conversations and that is EXACTLY what happened. I make a big life announcement, Brady expands on the concept of a Rogue Wave, and we talk about how we are tackling identity issues in our mid-twenties. Yes, it is a longer episode but has an exponential amount of value. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clmkev/support

In this episode, I focus more on human emotions and the impact the music industry has had on me. I explain an experience I had recently with an artist who I had a real connection with and they taught me that I need to be my true authentic self. These are my takeaways from that experience, the emotional toll this person had on me, and how I am going to carry myself moving forward. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clmkev/support

In this solo episode, I discuss what artists need to focus on in 2022. Since the pandemic the music industry, like many others, has shifted drastically. Artists seem to be focusing on the wrong things as they are still caught up in a pre-pandemic world. Artists are like businesses, they have to adjust to their environment. This means focusing on your infrastructure as if you started from ground zero. Are all of your royalties being collected? Are you worth it to be managed by someone? Do you have merchandise to promote your brand? These questions need to be answered as an artist and I cover the basic steps you need to take in order to have a strong foundation as an artist.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clmkev/support

Then I was home for a couple days and flew into Minneapolis to start another 10 day tour with Montana of 300. Needless to say, these were my 2am tired thoughts!  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clmkev/support

On this episode I have been patiently waiting on speaking on this topic before I had more experience in the music industry and I have been biting my tongue on even speaking on it but...things have gotten out of hand. I touch on the importance of why you should not lie and give the false perception that you ARE someone you ARE NOT. Specifically when it comes to events and content people work TIRELESSLY to create on the backend, no one should be claiming ownership over multiple months of peoples hard work, just for someone else to get the notoriety and 'clout' when it is underserved.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clmkev/support
