One of the most challenging things I deal with daily as an Artist, is dealing with the fact that I'm actually an Artist - and what that even means. Well for me, it means that no matter what I do, be it songwriting, performing or coaching - I do it with passion and authenticity. It means I must strive to create things that stand out and make people notice. It mean I need to stay current and constantly improve and evolve. It means I must socialize and connect with as many people as I can and try to spread new and interesting ideas. Most of all, It means I must create art - no matter what.
Well, as we all know, sometimes that is easier said than done! The goal of "Living the Dream: An Artist's Survival Guide" is to help you take control of your life as a songwriter and as an Artist - so you can design and live the life you truly desire.
