The Facade Project

Today on the podcast I bring on Entertainment Reporter and Social Media Producer, Debra Oh! Deb is the former VPO of The Shade Room and currently works for Hip Hollywood and manages a travel blog called Travel Coterie. We talk ALL about the era of social media and how Deb was there from the start essentially building The Shade Room into the entertainment beast that it is today! We talk about entrepreneurship and how Deb had to hustle to find her next gig, realizing her struggles with mental health and being all work with no break. Going through a loss in her family, pivots and so much more! I think throughout this episode you can really get a sense of how resilient this young lady is, how unstoppable she will be in achieving her dreams and how much of an impact that she’s already had in Entertainment. It was so great talking with Deb on the Facade Project because she has seen so much of the negative effects that social media can bring. She’s worked closely alongside some of the TOP celebrities in Hollywood. I mean she’s interviewed Kofi Sirobe, DJ Khaled, P Diddy... just to name a few to keep up their facades and brings her powerful storytelling to the table. Deb came on the show to break some of it down and show that not all that glitters is gold. Deb was ready to break the facades… are you?

Today on the podcast I bring back an old guest who’s from my hometown, out here in LA really hustling and growing immensely. Devan Garcia who is a musician and artist joined me in episode 22 from my living room and today, we recorded in my studio in hollywood and he talks about his first album and single called “Figure it Out” that just came out today, Monday February 18th. Devan has been one of my favorite guests on this podcast due to how real his music is in a world that so desperately needs it. We dive into this shift that he’s been having and creating and talk about why that is the title of his first album, we talk about the effects of Divorce, his creative process in making Shift with his producers Harrison and Ian, removing his ego when it comes to music and so much more! This episode was so great because you can really feel how much passion Devan has for his music and how music is the only dream only vision and only path he’s focused on. I have so much respect for creatives who are about the hustle and about the grind right? Because it’s one thing to be in LA claiming to be an artist but you don’t really see proof of that, just mostly facades on social but then it’s another when you have someone like Devan, who has put out multiple music videos and multiple tracks and has played at pretty notable venues. He didn’t even grab a drink with us after he was like “sorry have to get to the studio” so the grind don’t stop with this one. He was ready to break the facade! Are you?

Today on The Facade Project I am joined by singer/songwriter Sara Phillips from Montreal, Canada who moved out to New York and then LA to do music upon graduation. In this episode we talk all about listening to that voice inside your head that tells you to go for it, Sara’s songwriting and opportunities working with producers, the facades of her instagram, and some exciting live shows coming up! I so enjoyed talking to Sara because she is such a genuine soul who isn’t in the music industry for the fame but for the true love of it! I feel like when I come across a musician, I can get an idea very quickly of who they are trying to be or sound like or what kind of artist they remind me of but with Sara, not only is her sound different, but her entire entity is too! She is so unique as we all are but very kind, humble and genuine which is very refreshing to see in this generation.
