In this episode Durell is joined by indie artist and entrepreneur Greg Hoy. Durell and Greg begin talking about the current DIY space that makes up the majority of the creatives in the marketplace today. Durell talks about the fact that even though the internet has made it easier to be seen and heard, it has also made the quality of music not as good as it used to once be. Greg shared that there was a time where there was a filtering system of curators where you would know what labels cultivated certain sounds and there was much more quality control with the music that was released into the marketplace. Greg doesn't think the label system is something that should come back but a new system that allows for the music consumer to discover new artists that compliment their taste. Durell shares that the DIY space today is more about building deep than in volume. Greg shares in today's marketplace he knows who the artist is first whereas when he was growing up in the 80's and 90's he would listen to the radio and have to go into the record store and sing the song to someone to actually find out who the artist actually was by name. Greg shares that despite all the bells and whistles that we can use to get out to the people via technology and social media at the end of the day having a great song is paramount. Durell shares that hit records are marketed; no one knows they have a hit when they first release a song but the ability to heavily market and promote a song is the game changer. Durell shares that traditional radio was the medium that was used to mass market a song in the old industry, but today in the DIY space most artists can't afford traditional radio.Durell and Greg talk about him being first introduced to music at the age of 5 years old. He shares that his dad was very much into Led Zeppelin, Benny Goodman and a lot of big band music. Greg shares that the early music he was introduced to evoked so much emotion in him and he was extremely thankful for that. Greg talks about going to college and really getting into production and becoming inundated with learning the craft. He shares the importance of training your ears and figuring out the process. Greg talks about the way that technology has evolved and how that has made the learning curve much easier today then when he was young and trying to learn the craft. Durell shares that he loves Greg's quote “i love helping companies hire people because it's just like putting a band together, and everyone has a role”. Durell shares that he loves how Greg is able to use both sides of his brain because oftentimes most artists struggle with it. Greg shares that he views it as “muscles that you need to build”. He said that it's important to know what you're good at but also know the areas that you struggle with and put a focus on getting better with that. Greg shares that when he first started on his journey in music he struggled with booking shows and also being able to communicate the things that he wanted from his band. Communication is a big key in achieving success. Greg shares that at the end of the day he's the CEO so all of his success and failures fall on his shoulders. Greg and Durell end the episode talking about the fact that he believes in quality over quantity when it comes to making records. Greg shares that when he was younger he spent a lot of time putting out records but not as much time as focused on the craft. Durell shares that we no longer have a label driven industry where the top executives are actually developing, and showcasing new talent in a small unique space of quality that will lead to success. Greg said there was a time that he just wanted to play live so he could test out new material. He talks about what changed for him as far as mindset was. Instead of trying to come up with new songs all of the time, he shifted the focus to taking songs that he had and get those into the hands of more people as well as monetize them.Durell and Greg talk about his work that his work through his record label called 30 Peak. Greg shares about his other business where he helps companies hire people. He got his start in New York which then led him to California where he worked for Facebook, Lyft, and Pintrest helping to build their entire creative teams because they didn't really understand the power of how to speak to creatives.

Hiring Guild cofounder Greg Hoy chats with Alan Roll, Head of Brand Creative at Airtable, about balancing math with art, building well-rounded teams, painting your way toward a successful career, and influences like Prince & Bob Ross.
( Lorne Behrman) Greg Hoy is many things. He’s a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, a recording producer, a recording engineer, something of a marketing guru, a jingle and sound composer and producer, a 'people engineer' in the tech world, an art director, and a label owner. But when you boil it all down — he’s really just a guy in a band. “Music is in everything I do. Helping companies hiring people is just like putting a band together. I’ve been fortunate that both sides of my brain work in tandem,” the California-based artist says with a good-natured laugh. With his 2020 tour cancelled due to... well, you know what, Greg managed to coax East Bay, California's Tiny Telephone studio owner John Vanderslice into letting he and his band social distance to make 'Cacophony' - an 11 song cycle now out on gold vinyl - written and recorded in just two weeks. The lyrically output was heavy: birth, death, pandemics, and fires. But that fast and furious creative drive is what propels him to create. When you do more, you do more. So, maybe, it’s the collective inertia of all his projects that propels Greg’s prolific output? Somehow, between wearing so many hats — including tirelessly touring the nation in a vintage Airstream on the Limited Mileage tour throughout 2019 — he made time to write and a record a refreshingly eclectic, 22-song double-vinyl self-tiled concept album released as the self-titled Greg Hoy & The Boys. His last 2019 release, Enjoy the View, was recorded mostly live by audio legend Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, PJ Harvey) in Chicago & mixed in Oregon by the equally amazing Sylvia Massy (Tool, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, the band pushed the limits as a meaty 3 piece. The result is an immediately hooky slab of caffeinated, propulsive, plug-in-and-play rock n roll. To date, the restless creative has issued over 30 albums under various monikers, including The Royal Panics, Greg Hoy (“no boys” for intimate releases), Greg Hoy & The Boys, and Twice As Bright. Mostly these days, he fires up Greg Hoy & The Boys, a loose collective of friends and trusted musicians that includes boys and girls. Greg’s vibrantly diverse output harkens back to the bedroom 4-track visionary aesthetic of 1990s indie-rock, as epitomized by Guided By Voices and its fearless leader Bob Pollard. When you distill it all down, Greg plays retro rock n’ roll meticulously crafted from the timeless essentials of infectious melodies paired with undeniable grooves. Yet, within this focused path, Greg issues diverse albums aligned in spirit with such singular artists as Jack White, Dave Grohl, Neil Young, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cake, The Jam, The Who, The Beatles... “All the ‘the something’ bands,” Greg playfully adds. Throughout his wildly fishtailing career, Greg has worked with Glenn Branca, J. Robbins, Steve Albini, and drummer Steve Sutherland, late of Grant Hart's Nova Mob, among others. Greg’s songs have been featured on network television shows such as One Tree Hill and MTV's Made. Select live highlights in Greg’s career include performances at Noise Pop, SXSW, CMJ, and on the main stage at Latitude Festival in the UK. When off stage or not recording as an artist, Greg runs the record label, 30 Peak, and does production / soundtrack work. In this latter context, his music and sound design has been featured in Pinterest brand videos, American Express commercials, and as game effects for the software platform Adobe. Outside of the world of sonics, Greg works as a “people engineer” in tech, and he’s known for having hired & built the first creative teams for Facebook, Pinterest, and Lyft. Greg’s story in music begins at the age of 5 with the big bang of hearing Led Zeppelin’s 'Whole Lotta Love' on headphones with his big brother. “I was immediately drawn to the richness of the sound, and the idea that you could manipulate emotions with sound—like a certain fuzzed out guitar and drum beat could make you feel a certain way,” Greg explains. Later on, while attending Westminster College in Western Pennsylvania, Greg became a whiz with a four-track cassette recorder, recording his own songs as a multi-instrumentalist, and honing his lo-fi production chops tracking local bands. During this time, Greg also furthered his creative reach through working other bands as a guitarist, keyboardist, and a drummer. His debut became a buzzed-about tape, and 30 albums and two decades later he’s still a DIY-spirited artist freely exploring his artistic whims. Greg’s double album might be his most ambitious and personally poignant. He formed his music tastes through listening sessions with his mother who had a subscription to the Columbia House monthly CD series. Together, the two soaked up the sounds of Huey Lewis and the News, INXS, Chicago, and Led Zeppelin. Those were epiphanic moments for Greg as a budding music fan, and they’re treasured times he spent with his mother. A few years ago, his mother was terminally ill and Greg was there by her bedside. He recalls: “As she was passing, I would get the CDs we would listen to together, and then go to the studio and play along on drums to our favorite songs. I realized the best thing I can do emotionally is to make a record to process it all.” Those drum tracks became the foundation for the songs on Greg’s album. The songs also inspired emotive moods, and first-time instrument choices — like the use of saxophone on 'Ready Rock Steady.' The album can be digested almost like four grouped-together EPs. Greg Hoy & The Boys explores a wide array of thematic threads. At times, the songs are the wry musings of a middle-aged guy stuck in the millennial-addled tech world. Some tunes point out the dichotomy of being at the forefront of technology while still loving the lo-fi world of real drums and tape recorders. “Others are about birth, death, drugs, and rock n’ roll,” adds Greg. Interspersed within these loose concepts, is the arc of Greg’s mother’s passing. Select album standouts include 'Brilliant Jerk,' '(Keep Feeling) Caffeination,' 'Participation Award,' and “Ready Rock Steady.” The dance-y indie rock of “Brilliant Jerk” froths over with acerbic lyrical wit and twitch-y art-funk that recalls LCD Soundsystem, Gang Of Four, and Fugazi. Lyrically, this is playfully barbed social commentary on the onslaught of brainy bastards in the tech world. The tune’s accompanying video is culled from stock footage as sort of a meta statement on how, when peeled back, what passes for “brilliance” in this world can be flimsy ideas puffed up by big egos. The playfully titled '(Keep Feeling) Caffeination' — the title is a nod to the Human League’s synth-pop gem '(Keep Feeling) Fascination'—is a sizzling rockabilly boogie number rife with savory puns. The song, and its accompanying video, pulls no punches in addressing a seldomly-addressed toxic social epidemic. Read more at:https://thegreghoy.com/
