Episode Highlights01:32 - At the time, my manager was doing shows here, and Najee was one of the shows that was brought here. She went up to Najee and she said, "Hey, I want you to hear this guy." Najee, the person he is, said, "Sure. Bring him up and we'll have him sit in." I sat in. It was a great time and the rest is history.14:21 - What I like about being a musician is the uniqueness. You have opportunity to be one of a kind, which is really interesting in the grand scope of things. What I don't like or what I dislike is the mental struggle that the artist has. Us, as artists and being creative people, we always have that fight in us in our minds, if it's good, if it's great. Will people like it? Will people not like it? It's that constant struggle and you really have to have someone on the outside looking in and say, "Hey, relax," and approach it that way. 28:28 - If we're talking about the business in itself, it can be daunting, for sure, because it's based off of relationships and established relationships. Some people have 34 years worth of the relationships aren't ready. So, the understanding for me is to just be patient. Everything in the music business doesn't happen overnight. You can be considered an up and coming artist but been in the business for a long time, just because it's not your turn yet. So, as long as you remain patient and humble, everything will be fine.ContactFresh Coast Jazz FestivalRiley Richard
