On this episode of Two Beers With The Band, I sat down with Memphis rapper and composer, Bray Smizzi. Bray shared his journey from a young kid influenced by his uncle to a determined independent artist. He talks about taking a break from music to focus on his personal life and how he was drawn back to his passion. Bray opens up about the deeper meaning behind his lyrics and the healing power of music. This conversation is a raw, honest look at what it takes to be a DIY artist, from the challenges of finding your audience to the immense joy of bringing a musical vision to life. We also get to know more about the man behind the music, including how he deals with criticism , the importance of collaborating with other artists , and what he believes his fans need to know about him.
