Welcome back to the pod! In this episode, we sit down with the multi-talented Jonathan (AKA, Soba) — a music artist, producer, photographer, and videographer straight out of Queens, New York City.

From picking up a camera at 14 to diving into music production by 16, Soba has been on a relentless journey to bring his creative vision to life. After being denied by countless platforms, he took full control — launching Free Soul Music Group and building his own opportunities from the ground up.

Soba’s journey reminds us that the only limits are the ones we accept, so What would you build if you stopped waiting for permission?

Whether you’ve just uploaded your first track or you’re stuck in that invisible middle zone, this episode gives you the tools, mindset, and reminders you need to keep going. 🎧✨
