Musician and visionary Hoss joins us for an engaging conversation about Funktacy, his innovative fusion of a record label and magazine. Hyde's journey from DJing and playing instruments to founding Funktacy and Funky C Academy is fueled by his deep-rooted love for funk music and icons like James Brown. Despite the risks, Hyde's realistic yet daring approach to his music career showcases the power of perseverance and passion at any age. 

We venture into the transformation from hobbyist to professional in the music industry, stressing the importance of self-education and understanding the business side of music. With a strong emphasis on the distinction between being an artist and running an entity, our dialogue covers the challenges of self-doubt and setbacks in a social media-driven world. Hyde sheds light on maintaining resilience and mental health while navigating public personas, highlighting the significance of self-belief and consistency.

Listeners will gain insight into Hyde's personal philosophies, where creating music for self-fulfillment trumps the need for external validation. From unexpected moments during live shows to sharing humorous quirks and unconventional habits, Hyde's story is a testament to finding joy and gratitude in the journey. Rounding out with career advice and exciting updates on collaborations with artists like Willie Mack and Redible, this episode is a vibrant call to embrace one's passions, strive for personal growth, and make meaningful connections across the globe.
