E75 - Jake Floyd of 'The Orphan The Poet'
Jake Floyd is the bassest and one half of the band 'The Orphan The Poet'.
This week I sit down and finally get to know my friend Jake Floyd after years of being internet friends, and having heard the other half of the story of "TOTP" a couple years back here on the show when I had vocalist David Eselgroth on, I finally get his part of the journey! We cover how Jake first fell in love with music after attending his first live show, each of us being from small towns and finding creative paths out of them, lots of music/business talk on how navigating a band is just like running a business in many ways, how he was sure about wanting to play music with his life and going on tour straight out of high school, and how he randomly met David and then joined what would become The Orphan The Poet. We also talk a lot about the value of "learning while you go" by just trying things you want to get better at, how many freelance skills we acquire on our own could and should hold up on any "real job" resume, finding confidence in your creative work, creating a "gimmick" and branding a project and the reasons why it's important, the often draining methods of posting on social media and hoping it keeps it's art-filled purpose when doing so, the stress it can all bring as a musician and how to deal with it, and lots more!
