In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind my first-ever gig—how I went from being told I wasn’t “cut out” for music to performing at a friend’s wedding… terrified but determined. I’ll take you behind the scenes of the early days: the nerves, the doubt, the free gigs, the late-night cramming, and the moment I finally got paid to perform.

Whether you’re a musician just starting out or someone chasing any kind of creative dream, this one’s for you. Because booking your first gig isn’t about being perfect—it’s about saying yes, even when you’re scared.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

• The college audition that crushed my confidence
• Why I flew across the country to play for free
• How a $200 gig changed my mindset (and my future)
• What I wish I knew when I started out

In this first episode, I’m talking about what it means to start something before you feel ready—and why that’s exactly the right time to begin. As a solo guitarist and quiet creative, I’ve spent years fighting perfectionism, procrastination, and the pressure to do things the “right” way. This podcast is my space to share honest reflections and real strategies for building a music career without the hype, the hustle, or the need to be anyone but yourself.

Whether you’re a fellow musician, introvert, or someone quietly trying to grow something meaningful—you’re in the right place.
