Thirteen-year-old singer-songwriter Pixie Minerva may not have taken home first place in her first competition, but the experience opened a far more valuable door. It gave her the opportunity to meet people who believed in her talent, helped her record her first song, and ultimately led to a series of new opportunities in her musical journey. - Hindi man naiuwi ng 13-anyos na singer-songwriter Pixie Minerva ang first place sa isang singing competition, ang karanasang iyon ang nagbukas ng mas mahalagang pinto—ang makilala ang mga taong naniwala sa kanyang talento, nagbigay sa kanya ng pagkakataong ma-record ang kanyang unang kanta, at nagbukas ng sunod-sunod pang oportunidad sa kanyang music journey.

Former Shihad frontman Jon Toogood is on a different sort of tour than he's used to. He's written a book, ‘Home Again', that explores his 37 year career with a band that helped define New Zealand rock music. It's filled with personal stories both from Toogood's childhood and the years Shihad spent on the road – touring and performing around the world. While he's not necessarily one to look backwards, Toogood found writing the book to be a cathartic experience. “I didn't realise it, I mean it sounds preposterous, I didn't realise how much my whole life was revolved around music,” he told Mike Hosking.

HFL169 Empress (Shannon Rugari) Interviewed October 2, 2020 Interview released July 28 , 2026 From San Francisco Ballet to Broadway to “Empress”: Shannon on Owning Your Crown Host Larry returns to his Studio HFL interview series and speaks with Shannon, a former San Francisco Ballet dancer who later performed on Broadway in An American in Paris and now releases music under the stage name Empress. Shannon explains how “Empress” reflects taking ownership of her life and encouraging others to “own their crown,” and shares how music led her to dance, composing on piano from age four, singing publicly for the first time at 19, and creating as a “closeted” singer-songwriter during her ballet years. She discusses the physical and mental demands of ballet, career pressures around body image, how a raw foods diet helped her health and longevity, and the value of visualization, mentorship, and positive leadership from choreographers like William Forsythe. Shannon previews new releases starting in November and mentions composing a symphony during COVID. 00:00 Interviews Return 00:54 Meet The Guest 02:24 Empress Stage Name Origin 02:24 Why Empress 06:44 Own Your Crown 10:28 Composing At Four 13:13 Ballet To Broadway 19:59 Nutcracker Origins 23:34 Body Image And Health 23:39 Ballet Career & Body Image 29:34 A Ballerina Day 37:25 Mental Game And Mentors 39:14 Muscle Memory Mastery 40:01 Mentors And The Village 41:00 Dance As Meditation 42:57 Broadway Transition 42:57 Ballerina To Broadway 49:13 Broadway Confidence Vs Ballet 52:15 Building The Empress Empire 52:27 Music Career as Empress 56:15 Favorite Ballet And Leadership 01:00:44 Rite Of Spring And Music 01:03:26 San Francisco Reality Check 01:06:41 Warm Farewell And Next Steps

What does it really take to build a music career without a label or a viral moment doing the work for you? lolitslea joins OurSpace to talk about her journey as an independent artist, embracing her "neon pop punk" sound, and bringing the colorful, electronic energy of the late-2000s alternative scene into a new generation. lolitslea opens up about starting out making pop music before finding the confidence to make the music she'd always wanted to make, the reaction that convinced her to embrace pop punk, and how her collaboration with Sleeping With Sirens vocalist Kellin Quinn came together. We also dive into the less glamorous reality of DIY music: funding a career yourself, working multiple jobs, booking your own shows through DMs, learning when to spend money versus investing your own time, and navigating an industry increasingly obsessed with social media numbers and viral moments. Plus, we get into the stories behind "Rollercoaster Tycoon," "Burnout" and "Exit Plan," her love of video games, the artists currently in her rotation, and what's coming next. -- OurSpace with Matt Vettese is now powered by elderemo.com — shop emo and pop punk apparel for yourself, your kids, and even your pets.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Anthony Cardinale, better known as DJ Avision, for a conversation that goes far beyond music. While many people know Anthony as an internationally touring DJ and producer with a signature sound rooted in 90s house music, there's another side to his story that deserves just as much attention. He's also a husband, father, entrepreneur, co-owner of The Bar in South Amboy, New Jersey, and co-founder of CJ Pizza, one of the area's fastest-growing wood-fired pizza brands.What makes this conversation so interesting is how every part of Anthony's career connects together. The same creativity that fuels his music also shapes the restaurants, food concepts, branding, and customer experiences he builds. Whether he's producing a track, creating a menu, or designing a neighborhood gathering place, the goal is always the same: make people feel something.Luis and Anthony spend time talking about what it really takes to build multiple businesses while staying true to yourself. They discuss taking calculated risks, learning through failure, and making tough decisions during uncertain times. The pandemic forced Anthony and his longtime business partner to rethink everything they knew about business. What started as backyard pizza parties quickly turned into pop-up events, food trucks, and eventually a full restaurant that continues to grow.The conversation also dives into branding, hospitality, and why details matter. Anthony explains why he refuses to cut corners on ingredients, customer experience, or the atmosphere people walk into. From sourcing premium products to creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable, every decision reflects the long-term vision instead of chasing quick wins.Music fans will appreciate hearing about Anthony's journey as DJ Avision, from playing drums with his father and sneaking into clubs as a teenager to touring internationally and earning respect from some of the biggest names in electronic music. He shares how the sounds of New York house music shaped his production style and why staying authentic has always mattered more than following trends.The discussion also highlights the influence of family, mentors, and lifelong friendships. Anthony shares stories about learning from his parents, working alongside trusted partners, and surrounding himself with people who challenge him to think bigger. It's a reminder that success rarely happens alone and that great businesses are often built on even stronger relationships.If you're an artist trying to build a career, a small business owner looking for fresh ideas, or someone chasing multiple passions at once, this episode is packed with practical lessons you can apply immediately. It's an honest look at balancing creativity with business while building something that lasts.In this episode, you'll hear about:DJ Avision's path from local DJ to international touring artist.Building CJ Pizza from backyard events into a growing business.The story behind creating The Bar and its community-first atmosphere.Why branding goes far beyond logos and social media.Learning through failure, pressure, and calculated risks.Growing multiple businesses without sacrificing quality.Family influence, mentorship, and long-term partnerships.Staying creative while managing the realities of entrepreneurship.If you enjoyed this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, be sure to subscribe so you never miss a conversation.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Howard Hewett. Rushion McDonald invited legendary R&B vocalist Howard Hewett to share the lessons behind his four-decade music career, focusing on perseverance, preparation, personal vision, integrity, and long-term success. The conversation was designed not only for music fans, but also for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals seeking insight into how sustained success is built over time. The interview blends Howard's personal journey—from Akron, Ohio, to becoming the lead voice of Shalamar—with practical life and business principles that helped him remain relevant and respected throughout his career. Executive Summary Howard Hewett reflected on his early years as a performer, the unexpected opportunity that led to his joining Shalamar, and the mindset that enabled him to capitalize on life-changing opportunities. He emphasized that success is rarely accidental; it comes from preparation, visualization, discipline, and maintaining integrity. A major theme throughout the interview was that individuals must prepare for opportunities long before they arrive. Hewett explained how years of practice and dedication allowed him to seize the moment when an audition unexpectedly presented itself, eventually launching him into one of R&B's most successful groups. Key Takeaways 1. Preparation Creates Opportunity Howard stressed that talent alone is not enough. Success occurs when preparation meets opportunity. He spent years singing and performing before receiving his breakthrough. When the opportunity to audition for Shalamar arrived, he was ready because he had already done the work. Being "ready" often matters more than being lucky. Business Lesson: Continuous preparation allows people to act decisively when opportunities appear. 2. Visualization Is Powerful Howard discussed the importance of mentally seeing success before it happens. After moving to California, he regularly visualized performing in front of thousands of people. He imagined achieving professional goals long before they became reality. Visualization strengthened his confidence and focus. Business Lesson: Successful people often create a clear vision of their future and work consistently toward it. 3. Your Reputation Matters Throughout the conversation, Howard highlighted the value of character and professionalism. Relationships in the entertainment industry were built on trust. Integrity helped sustain a career that has lasted more than 40 years. Success without character is difficult to maintain. Business Lesson: Reputation is one of the most valuable assets a person can possess. 4. Stay Ready for Unexpected Opportunities One of the most compelling stories involved how Howard joined Shalamar. He received an unexpected phone call while at the Motown building. He auditioned shortly afterward. Within days, he had joined the group and was performing on television. The rapid sequence of events showed how quickly life can change when preparation meets opportunity. Business Lesson: Major breakthroughs often arrive with little warning. 5. Longevity Requires Adaptability Howard's career has spanned multiple generations of music fans. He discussed evolving with the industry while maintaining authenticity. He recognized the importance of growth without losing his artistic identity. Longevity comes from balancing innovation with consistency. Business Lesson: The ability to adapt is essential for sustained success. 6. Believe in Yourself Before Others Do Howard spoke about having confidence in his abilities long before widespread recognition. Self-belief helped him persevere through challenges and uncertainty. Confidence strengthened his willingness to pursue ambitious goals. External success followed an internal commitment to excellence. Business Lesson: Confidence and vision often precede achievement. Notable Quotes & Memorable Messages The interview centered around several recurring themes that Howard expressed throughout the conversation: "Preparation turns opportunity into success." "You have to be ready when the door opens." "Visualization helps create the life you want to live." "Integrity is something nobody can take away from you." "Don't wait for opportunity—prepare for it." "Success starts with believing in yourself." "Always be ready because your opportunity can come when you least expect it." Overall Message The interview was ultimately a masterclass on preparation, vision, self-belief, and longevity. Howard Hewett's story demonstrates that sustained success is not built on luck alone. It comes from years of disciplined preparation, maintaining strong values, visualizing success, and being ready when opportunity arrives. For entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals alike, his message was clear: Stay prepared, protect your integrity, believe in your vision, and be ready when opportunity knocks. #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would Dee Kei and Lu actually do if they had to start their music careers completely over today — same age, same responsibilities, but zero industry knowledge, zero connections, and zero credits? That's the question at the center of this episode, and the answers get surprisingly deep.The conversation starts practical: Lu makes the case for going straight to the top and finding the most credible working professional you can — shadowing, interning, and learning how the industry actually moves before spending a dime on gear. Dee adds his own counterpoint, arguing that hands-on reps with real people, even local ones, build something an internship can't always give you early on. The two go back and forth on the internship vs. DIY debate in a way that's genuinely useful for anyone trying to figure out where to start.But the episode goes further than tactics. Dee pulls from Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman to break down how self-control, delayed gratification, and the ability to focus attention are more predictive of long-term success than raw intelligence — and what that means for how you show up in the early days of your career. They also get into the fatherhood premium, what motivation looks like when the stakes are real, and why community college might be one of the most underrated networking moves for someone starting over in their 30s.The episode closes on something more philosophical: the difference between genuinely wanting a career in music and just thinking you should have one — and why knowing that distinction early could save you years of wasted energy or redirect you toward something even more sustainable.Whether you're 19 with a laptop and a dream or 35 reconsidering your path, this episode will challenge how you think about starting.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

The conversation covers everything from artist identity and fan relationships to creating fan sanctuaries, building repeatable systems, and monetising music in a way that feels genuine and sustainable.

Today, we're excited to bring you a unique and powerful story from our Tupelo, Mississippi community. Sara and Chris Ekiss share their individual faith journeys, how the Lord brought them together, and the ways He deepened their faith early in their marriage.   When Chris sensed God calling him away from being the lead singer of a secular band and into ministry, their lives took an unexpected turn, one that required trust, surrender, and a deep reliance on God's provision.   This is a story about making your faith your own, moving beyond the foundation of family and discovering a personal, vibrant relationship with the Lord. It's also a story of learning to trust God's guidance, His timing, and His faithfulness as He leads us exactly where we're meant to be.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us - yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: In what ways have your faith and prayer life become your own over the years? Praise God for the ways in which He has pursued your heart and established the work of your hands.    _________________________________________________________ Listen to a similar story:  Episode 309- Katie & JT Thornbury: "Seek and You Will Find: A Marriage and Salvation Story"   Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Sara & Chris   Preorder our new devotional "Where Hope Meets You: A Daily Reminder of the Comfort and Confidence in God's Promises" by Katie Dunn    Join us "In the Room" on Patreon to access new stories straight from our live gatherings around the country!   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series~ Stories of Hope, Stories of Freedom, Stories of Faith Are you interested in one-on-one coaching with our very own Robyn Kown!?  Click HERE!   Check out all of our live speaking engagement opportunities on our website.   Sign up to receive StoryTellers Live's weekly newsletter for upcoming events, new podcast episodes, details on our live gatherings happening around the country, and much more!!

In response to a recent video I saw online, I wanted to address the current state of the desperate need for likes follows and statistics online through social media, and share my thoughts along with some support for artists who are feeling drained by how this is all playing out. Social media stats have become the metric upon which radio stations, labels, venues and distributors measure your music's value and how well your artistry resonates with audiences. It's one thing to have a streamlined social media strategy, but if it's draining you, if it feels inauthentic, if it is taking away from your joy of music, we have to address it.As musicians we have to see this for what it is. As followers you have to support your favourite artists in as many ways as possible. Build your email list, connect with genuine authenticity and know you are not alone if you are drained by following trends and being told you need to post more for your music.

If you want to build a successful career in music, this is not the 1990s, nor is it even the 2010s, when the path was much different. A few things never go out of style, such as practicing well and networking, but nearly everything else is different from when I began my journey nearly 30 years ago. My definition of a successful career is modest: I've been able to pay all of my bills and have enough money left over for moderate enjoyment without doing even a single job that didn't involve my music studies over the past 26 years. There's so much different now, and this requires new tactics to succeed. Musicianship Mastery is formerly known as The Musician Toolkit.

Send us Fan MailHe didn't grow up with a band room, a stack of records, or a family cheering him on. Willie Steele grew up hearing “get a job,” drove lumber trucks, and only started taking guitar lessons at 30. Somehow, that late start turns into a lifelong working career where his name becomes shorthand around Long Island for a guy who can show up, make the music feel good, and tell the kind of gig stories you can't invent. We get into the unglamorous truth behind becoming a real musician: the weddings where you get yelled at for not knowing standards, the moment someone asks for a C major seven and you realize you have gaps, and the saving power of the right mentor. Willie gives huge credit to teacher Billy Bauer for unlocking harmony and a deeper system beyond blues licks, and we talk about what practice actually looks like when you're serious. If you care about adult music education, improvisation, and the working guitarist life, this conversation is packed with hard-earned perspective. Then it goes where musicians love to go: feel and groove. Willie breaks down why great players can “hear what's coming” and lock in fast, why some bands fall apart the second the groove returns after a flashy solo, and how he protects the pocket on real gigs. We also talk about money versus joy, the club date world, flipping songs on purpose, and why integrity sometimes means turning down the shiny offer. Subscribe to On Drums, share this with a musician who needs it, and leave a review if the stories hit home.

Send in your music story!A band can lose two core members and still keep moving, but the reason matters. Godsmack's touring fatigue headline opens the door to a bigger conversation about burnout in hard rock and metal, what the road actually demands, and why “push through it” culture breaks people. We take that news and connect it to the real economics of music today: streaming pressure, constant content, and the hidden costs artists absorb just to stay visible. Sean Martin from The Quarantined joins us and goes deep on the independent artist playbook. We talk Spotify strategy and why monthly listeners are leverage, not just pennies. We get into merch, influencer marketing, playlisting, and why the most important member of your “band” might be your lawyer. Then we zoom out to the vinyl resurgence and why labels are leaning back into full album releases as vinyl records become a premium, profitable product again. If you're building an audience, planning a release, or trying to understand music industry trends, this one is packed with usable insight. The heaviest part of the conversation is also the most important. Sean shares what PTSD really is: a permanent change to the nervous system, not a punchline and not just fear. He explains what helped him climb out, why therapy and expert support matter, and how metacognition can turn survival into progress. We wrap with our song of the week “Molly” by Sponge, then blow off steam with a three-second “guess the song” game that turns into laughs, nostalgia, and a little friendly chaos. If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

When people find out that Cade Thompson signed a Nashville record contract at the age of just 18, they sometimes assume he's led a charmed life. But as many blessings as Cade has received over the course of his still-young music career, there have been setbacks and frustrations too. Fortunately, through prayer and the guidance of caring mentors, he's been able to learn valuable lessons from those challenges about faith, love, and staying grounded. Cade shares some of those lessons with Nate Dewberry in this week's episode, along with reflections on his upbringing in South Dakota, the inspiration behind a couple of his biggest hits, and what green room snacks he's powerless to resist.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/Cade's early love of music1:26 Cade's rapid rise in the music industry—and a big setback5:26 The life rhythms and mentors that have kept Cade grounded11:19 A newly married man looks back at singlehood16:16 Cade talks about his latest single, “That's What the Cross Is For”21:06 Cade witnesses God working in the life of one of his young fans23:42 Looking ahead and looking back28:39 Cade's work with a youth group at a local church31:10 Closing thoughts (and favorite snacks)Find community, deepen your faith, join the brotherhood for free today at theredeemed.com/join.Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets,  show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.Have a redemption story?

In Episode 370 of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu continue their true-or-false format and dig into even more of the beliefs, myths, and gray areas that shape music production and audio careers. This round covers everything from whether you should mix and master your own music, to whether analog gear is really better, whether Pro Tools still matters, and whether networking outweighs skill.They also get into social media, working for free early in your career, standing out in a crowded industry, perfectionism, arrangement vs mix importance, and what actually makes a great mixer. One of the strongest themes in the episode is that audio is never just technical. Great mixing is also about psychology, emotion, decision-making, and understanding how to help artists feel confident in what they are making.This is a sharp, practical episode for engineers, producers, and artists who want more nuance than the usual black-and-white advice. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

Liam shares discovering his own autism later in life after his father was diagnosed around age 70, and describes how late clarity brought relief, acceptance, and a new understanding of his father's withdrawal and difficulty reading emotions. He discusses traits such as overwhelm with menus, sensitivity to crowds, loud noise and bright lights, hyperfocus on music, photographic memory, and co-occurring ADHD and anxiety, reframing autism as a creative strength that supported a 30-year music career working with many artists. Liam also describes helping translate situations for his father, who also has paranoid personality disorder, and shares his goal of inspiring others that autism doesn't have to limit achievement. 01:18 Meet Liam Golder 02:12 Creativity as Strength 03:36 Dad's Late Diagnosis 04:15 Shared Traits and Triggers 05:37 Rethinking Autism 06:49 Getting Diagnosed and Relief 07:41 Telling Family and Support 08:49 Translating for Dad 13:13 Burnout and Anxiety 14:35 Acceptance and Purpose 17:34 Music Career and Structure 19:17 Legacy and Inspiration 20:28 Connection with Dad 23:07 Living Confidently Now 23:52 Closing and Call to Share The content on Why Not Me: Embracing Autism amd Mental Health Worldwide, including discussions on mental health, autism, and related topics, is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed by guests are their own and do not reflect those of the podcast, its hosts, or affiliates.Why Not Me is not a medical or mental health professional and does not endorse or verify the accuracy, efficacy, safety of any treatments, programs, or advice discussed.Listeners should consult qualified healthcare professionals, such as licensed therapists, psychologists, or physicians, before making decisions about mental health or autism- related care.Reliance on this podcast's contents is at the listener's own risk. Why Not Me is not liable for any outcomes, financial or otherwise, resulting from actions taken based on the information provided.https://tonymantor.comhttps://Facebook.com/tonymantorhttps://instagram.com/tonymantorhttps://twitter.com/tonymantorhttps://youtube.com/tonymantormusicintro/outro music bed written by T.

What happens when you stop chasing shiny gear and start listening more carefully?In this episode, Locke Davis, founder and CEO of the Pickr Music app, shares how his deep dive into Nashville's studio culture and Blackbird Academy shaped his approach to building a platform that connects professionals and democratizes the recording industry. We explore the importance of community, the nuances of studio etiquette, and how technical tools can complement but not replace the human element in music creation.Locke also reflects on the subtle art of setting the emotional tone, how gear doesn't create magic but rather creates opportunities, and the value of genuine relationships over polished online personas. From his background in touring to launching Pickr during the pandemic, Locke offers insights into blending efficiency with authenticity.We talk about practical ways to build community through studio events, social media, and smart use of technology - plus how to stay prepared, adapt, and succeed by focusing on 'making your own luck.'
