Meet Hill Trey aka Trazy Snakes a local Dayton Ohio music artist. We first met at ICB during a recording session and I always knew he had the skills. I recently spoke with him about his upcoming projects - a mini series and possible mixtape.

Meet DJ Dan Neff - He hosts a popular radio show WSUT Straight up Tunes. Dan has an eclectic taste and is an avid music listener. You can listen in by downloading the App on Google Play. DJ Dan is passionate about supporting local music just like I am. He has played my music in the past and Im extremely grateful for that. If you would like to be heard on his show and possibly featured - feel free to reach out to him or myself directly. 

Enjoy this part 1 conversation as we discuss ways to support local music and help artists to reach popularity in this overly saturated industry. A music pyramid scheme where artists and listeners get paid for playing local artists is just one idea. Too often - great talent doesn't get heard. As a local artist myself - Im just trying to do my part. What ideas do you have? 

Meet Matt Payne - Owner of New Challenger Arcade in Dayton Ohio - Located at 221 Crane Street. Matt has been an avid collector of retro arcade games over the years and me being a game lover myself, I was ecstatic when I heard I had the opportunity to speak with him. Matt is also an English High School teacher where he was inspired to start his own arcade (helping to promote positive behaviors for kids). 

He's opened the doors about a year ago and his prices are reasonable. For $55 you can play all the games in the arcade for 2 hours. Small businesses have been hit heard recently and I couldn't wait to jump on the opportunity to help promote his new venture. I hope you enjoy this conversation go check out New Challenger Arcade.
