This last week of the 2023, we catch up with our friend Trey Xavier to find out how he's adjusting to daily life in the “free” world after 27 years of being legally enslaved- the show had to be cut short as we find out that prisoners, including Political Prisoner Kevin Rashid Johnson, founder of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party, go on a hunger strike at notoriously violent Red Onion State Prison in Virginia to protest they use of solitary confinement and inhumane conditions.

Trey Xavier talks to Cole Rolland about his songwriting process and his new song "Echo."Listen to "Echo" on YouTube.Join the Gear Gods public DISCORD server.Follow Gear Gods:►Website: http://geargods.net►Facebook: http://bit.ly/GGFBPAGE►Twitter: http://bit.ly/GGTWEETS►Instagram: http://bit.ly/GGIGBB Hosted on Acast.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by the ultra talented YouTube sensation Trey Xavier for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!The guys are delighted to be joined by the one and only Trey Xavier this week who's "Secret Price of the Creative Life" video almost caused Brian to reach his resonant frequency and spontaneously shatter. Trey is a super nice, ridiculously talented, and ultra experienced YouTube creator and he has got a hugely popular channel where amongst other things he breaks down music as submitted by his audience.  Trey tells us all about the trials and tribulations of creating content for YouTube and how to manage the expectations of an audience and candidly speaks on the topics that trouble him, the issues he faces, and how he overcomes them. Meanwhile, Richard uses language that confuses Brian. All of the guys chip in with the debate and amazingly stay on topic throughout as they also discuss some of the surprising things they have come across on the internet as content creators.  The debate turns to the direct model for artists creating, producing, and distributing their own content and how life for musicians has radically shifted as a result.  This leads on to a detailed discussion about how to build income streams from creativity and how to find your niche in an increasingly crowded creative space. The guys look at song crafting, riff writing, and commercial implications, and there are confusing breakfast cereal moments.  Those are Brian's chickens, Wiggly tape recorder, More hats, Wangs, Loopy Tingles...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Check out Trey's channel hereWe are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Merch and DIY mods:https://modyourownpedal.com/collections/booksFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show
