This week we talk to David Vertesti – known for his incredible musical prowess as the bassist of Hey Ocean, he has also been a cornerstone in the Vancouver Arts and Music scene. He created a beautiful event called Sing It Forward, performing at events of the likes of the Junos and was also the creative spirit behind the Vancouver Mural Festival. And he has also walked away from those creative endeavours. He has a really refreshing relationship with what it takes (read: all consuming!) to start something. Since the birth of his first child, he has realized that his brain never truly turns off and in order to be fully present, he had to decide where to spend his time. Despite COVID-19 derailing the Mural Festival in it’s original intent, he still found a way to bring it to life in 2020, creating arguably one of the most successful art expos of the pandemic. We are grateful for his perspective of letting go to create room for something new – even when you have no idea what that newness will be.LINKS:David Vertesi: davidvertesi.comHey Ocean: heyocean.comVancouver Mural Festival: vanmuralfest.caCreative Mornings: creativemornings.com
