Ricky Duran garnered international attention with his soulful vocals, fiery and tasteful guitar playing and compelling performances on NBC’s The Voice. The Season 17 Runner-Up has since released a single charting at No. 1 on iTunes and sold out shows, showing himself to be more than a fleeting show success - he retained fans and amassed more. He truly is an irrefutable talent and electrifying entertainer making music for the soul.    His new single “Waiting On You” is out now, everywhere you get your music!    #RickyDuran #thevoice #afsp    0:00 Intro  01:25 Ricky can PLAY!  4:00 How Ricky got on the voice  08:21 Warm-up questions  10:10 Stories from the Voice  16:00 How to prepare for The Voice or American Idol  19:00 Defying genre  23:58 Ricky & Suicide Prevention AFSP  28:00 Lifestyle: Sleep  29:00 Lifestyle: Mindfulness & meditation  29:32 Lifestyle: Exercise  30:10 Lifestyle: How do you define yourself?  30:50 Lifestyle: How do you define success?  31:45 Practice: Time of day  38:00 Practice: Maximum duration  38:40 Practice: Would you?  40:00 Creativity: Steps to stay creative  41:24 Creativity: Time of day  41:59: Creativity: Burnout  43:49 Songwriting: Inspiration  45:50 Songwriting: Listen or not to listen?  46:45 Performance anxiety  48:55 What happens just before a "The Voice" live performance    #musicians #songwriter #songwriters #composers #musicmajor #musicmajors #musiceducator #musiceducators #musiceducation #podcast #thebestmusicpodcast #clips #musicpodcast #singer #guitarist #guitarplayer #trombonist #trumpet #violin #viola #cello #bass #brass #trombone #mandolin #banjo #drums #percussion #timpani #marimba #oboe #sax #saxophone #clarinet #basoon #alto #soprano #tenor #piano #keyboard #musicians #songwriter #songwriters #composers #musicmajor #musiceducator #musicpodcast #singersongwriter #musiceducation #singer #trumpet #violin #viola #cello #bass #trombone #musiclife #musicmaker #musicteacher #drums #percussion #saxophone #clarinet #guitar #piano #podcast #thebestmusicpodcast #musicislife #musicindustry #PandoraPodcasts    Logo, Intro Video, and Branding: Arron Leishman  Audio and Video: Zach Ramey [email protected]  Dan's Thumbnail Photo: John Mollura Photography
