Episode Highlights:

05:08 - One is perseverance, because this business is tough and it will rent you out and ring you out if you are not tough.

08:44 - You can be the most badass cat on your instrument but if you don't have that fan base or don't know how to get out there on social media and work that social media, it's a death trap for the audience and for the promoter.

20:58 - I just like the fact of collaborating with someone else. If I did all the writing myself I truly feel I will find myself writing a song over and over again.

23:34 - I feel that within my passion, there’s a purpose and my purpose is to connect with the audience and make them feel a certain way.

41:11 - Continue to work, continue to get better and always network because you can't do this alone. No one succeeds by themselves.
