What You Don't Hear

E138 - Corey Mouch of 'Southcourt'


Listen Later

In this episode, I catch up with Corey Mouch, musician from the band @Southcourt (formerly 90s’ Kids), and we talk all about what it’s like being a musician chasing the dream of music in this one, the highs and lows of chasing a dream in general, and how he’s learned to create just for the love of it. I’ve gotta say, as I always do, these episodes, stories and perspectives are always in my opinion, good for anyone of any background to hear, but I’ll double down on saying that this episode is a GREAT one to listen to if you’re a musician. Creator of any kind yes, but for sure if you’re involved in the world of music.

He shares how it all started with asking for a guitar as a kid, jamming in friends’ basements, and accidentally becoming the singer of his first band. Corey later opens up about balancing his music with a day job, what it’s really like to “almost” make it (a couple times over), and the kind of perspective that comes with doing this for seven years with the same group of guys.

We talk about the band’s move from Columbus to Nashville, their name change, learning how to play the social media game, and why letting go of chasing what’s popular can lead to better, more honest music. It’s Cory’s story yes, but it’s honestly far more of a conversation about staying passionate, staying honest with yourself, staying the course, and remembering why you started it all in the first place. Corey was a great interview, great storyteller and shared in an honest way that I think will land with a lot of you!
