State of The Artist Podcast

In this episode, we discuss the spiritual path of the artist and how different beliefs and practices can help creatives, artists, and musicians tap into inspiration, presence, and guidance from beyond the material world.

For the first time on the podcast, we've got a guest! 

I asked one of my favorite singers of all time what he thinks of fame, achieving international fame, and how the pursuit of fame has changed since the 1990s.

Darren Hayes is an Australian artist who achieved massive fame and success in a band called Savage Garden in the 90s. You're probably familiar with songs of his like Truly, Madly, Deeply, and I Knew I Loved You.

As part of the previous episode, Anxiety Versus Artist, here's a 6-minute guided meditation you can listen to without stopping what you are currently doing, and it will help you manage your anxiety for the moment. 

Fear is THE topic of all topics for Artists and Musicians chasing a career. This week we begin to unpack anxiety and how it affects us on stage, on social media, and in life.

This week, we discuss a new model being used for audience building by Artists and Musicians online. And we vow to accept the frustrations that come with the "incremental growth phase" while we start building momentum on social media. 

For Artists in search of an audience, good news! The mass market has died and the niche has won. This episode, we dive into why this is important and how it affects our quest to build an audience and a career. 

Why don't Artists and Musicians take social media more seriously if we know that's where we are going to get an audience?

Season 3 kicks off with a discussion about why so many Artists are resisting the digital transition. 

The dangers of not keeping up with culture and accepting how critical social media truly is in 2021.
