Find the Beat: Online Music with Beat School With Kia Orion | TNN19
We all like music, one genre or the other. I don't believe there's a single person that actually dislikes all types of music. Some people love music to a concerning degree like it's the only thing they think about and want so constantly that it feels like an addiction. It's far more than a want, it's a need. Ultimately, music has changed our lives and still changes us every day. That same passion drove Kia Orion to where he is right now - running Beat School and teaching how to create cool music.
In this episode of The New Nomad, Kia joins hosts Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in exploring the world of beats and what it took to thrive in it. From making 10 years’ worth of mistakes and failed tries, Kia finally pursued his passion for music by creating and teaching his students good ole’ ground thumpin’ beats. Our trio of nomads also discussed the challenges in this niche and tips on how to be successful in it. This is a fun-filled (and music tips-filled) episode that you wouldn’t want to miss. Really.
[3:43] Selling everything in pursuit of being a digital nomad
[4:35] A million ways to approach online businesses
[6:24] The birth of Beat School - monetizing your passion
[18:58] At the end of the day, it’s all about integrity
[20:45] Do what you love and everything else is just icing on the cake
[25:39] Being comfortable outside of your comfort zone
GUEST BIO:
Kia Orion started 10 years of mistakes then eventually started making dope music and officially been living a nomadic life for 3 years and change.
He had been a bartender, marketing manager, and even a high school teacher. Originally from New York, he grew up as the guy hustling his mixtape out of the backpack. After college and a brief stint working at Island/Def Jam, he realized the major label life was not for him. Kia spent four years in Philly, and then after hitting an all-time low got fed up with how life was going. So he sold everything he owns, quit his job, and bought a one-way ticket to Northern Thailand.
These days, Kia makes music, creates content, runs Beat School, and obsesses over the process.
