Chris Banks is a Phoenix based musician and Stand Up comedian. In this episode I chat with Chris while he's spending time with family in a cabin (sorry for some choppy audio) but we had a fantastic talk about the crossover between performing music vs. comedy and the way one can lend to the other. Chris talks about the reason he pursues his dreams and we talk about how its never too late to do so. We then talk about Country music. A genre that's commonly frowned upon by cool kids. but we dive into how and why we decided to give country a second ear and the way living in Arizona will make anyone a country fan. There's so many great young and fresh country artists on this playlist that might help to change your mind on the topic as well. Hope you Enjoy!

today I got to talk with Florida based rapper 5an. we had an awesome talk about life and about unapologetically being yourself and creating your art. They just dropped a track called BUY IT which caps off the playlist we made at the end. but 5an is consistently putting out new music and has a ton of projects just in 2020 alone! quarantine has not stopped the momentum. We discuss the importance of consistent output and self marketing. and how to stay in your lane and stay focused and the mindset it takes to be a creator especially in rap today.
