This week we add another one of these to the list as I sit down and get to know fellow PGH Hip-Hop artist Walkman. Sit back, relax and lets Start The Beat!

The landscape of music has always been a perpetually shifting environment but never before have things been changing so rapidly and unexpectedly. Thanks to the modern accessibility of being able to do almost anything you'd want, any way you want, we're in a really exciting but simultaneously confusing time to be a musician. This week I sit down with Rachel & Billy from Little Good Bad and try to navigate the current landscape of music and dive into everything they are contributing to it.

Grab your headphones, a cup of coffee, a shovel and drag yourself to the closet graveyard because we got some work to do. Today I sit down with Nathan King for a talk about putting yourself out there and developing creative relationships outside of the "basement". Nathan is a composer, filmmaker, photographer, ghost, among other things and has just released a new album, a short film and has a portfolio of work 110% worth diving into.
