065: "Save Your Couch Money, We're Here To Innovate" with Transit22
Any questions? Comments? Thoughts? Send me a text!
Let's be real, folks - the music industry is focused around quantity over quality. We have a lot of demands on our time to deliver content to numerous platforms in order to "stay relevant". But do we? Is it possible to have a deeper connection with the people that dig our music? Let's look at what Transit22 has been doing to carve out his career. He's a heavyweight in Calgary's Hip Hop scene with a true, authentic story, passion for his art and connection with his ever-growing fanbase. The pandemic has seen him grow exponentially in his personal life as a father, more connected to what really matters (that whole purpose thing) and in our conversation we get into how that's all dripped into the business of being a lockdown artist.
Learn more about all the radness he's got going on at here, join the "Couch Money Family" for a weekly dose of exclusive, behind the scenes content and stories from Transit himself. Show some love on the socials and be sure to share this out with those you care about. Especially those who need a bit of inspiration in innovating their brand.
