On this episode of the podcast Cody sits down with 3 time returning guest and guitar shredder extraordinaire Andrei Cristian. Andrei makes music under the pseudonym The Wolf of Transilvania. The two of them have a great conversation that covers a wide variety of topics including: the importance of consistency with your brand. paying homage to the artist you used to be while still moving forward, serving the song and putting your ego aside, finding your audience, being honest with the art you put forth into the world, the human elements of music making, not getting caught up in the things you think you should be doing to be successful and just focusing on the thing you love to do, not letting your art define who you are, burning out and taking on to much, putting in the work and growing your network organically, the importance of genuine feedback, setting yourself apart from the oceans of other creators, not waiting to do the things that you are passionate about, putting your worries about the future aside and focusing on the present, finding your own way of doing things and realizing there is no “right way” of doing things, longevity, taking advantage of the time you have, the different ways people listen to and appreciate music, and at the end of the day good music is good music. You can listen to the song Luminescence off of The Wolf of Transilvania’s most recent self titled EP at the end of the episode. If you would like to purchase said song you can do so HERE
