Sometimes you just got to grind through your difficulties, and complete the project.  Yes we are definitely after quality in our art, our music, our albums, but without completing the project, you will never be able to get anything done! Taking a break may be good, but overall sometimes you need to accept the heat, accept the low budget, accept the limitations and power through.  Moving on to your next song, idea, or project rather than staying stuck is usually the move. 

Have you ever browsed those posts on the Philadelphia DIY Collaborative Facebook group page?  Maybe you have even posted on it yourself to book a show, or get feedback on your song!  Or maybe you have heard of A Day Without Love, or even Dreams Not Memes Podcast.  All of these are the creations of Brian Walker.  How does he manage it all?  And how does he have that Entrepreneur mind to start all of these endeavors? These questions and more explored... 

Don't just talk about your lofty goals, actually sit down and put in the work. This theme, and others came up while talking with Elysium Creative Group founder Masila Mike Muli. Masila shares his story regarding his music business where everyday is spent around music. How many of us can say we support ourselves just off of music? An incredible feat to learn from.

You ever just keep grinding on that song so you can eventually finish it? Have you ever worked tirelessly through the heat, through the odds, just to get something done? But at the end of it all, you wondered why you did all of that in the first place? Noticing the quality was not right, and the song didn't come out as great as it could've.... Maybe there's something more to that idea... Take a break!

Grant Hill sits down to talk about the success and failure of a small town band.  Good Friend Electric has put out two albums and several singles over the years, and experienced many ups and downs.  What does it even mean to be successful with their music?  Why do we even make music if no one listens?
