In this first episode of Modern Musician’s Survival Guide, Ghenadie introduces himself and shares his journey as a performing musician and accordionist.

He reflects on his path through formal music studies, working in different countries, and the realities he encountered while building a professional career in music. Like many musicians, he gradually realized that technical preparation alone was not enough — and that long-term sustainability requires clarity, strategy, and self-management.

Ghenadie also talks about how the pandemic became a turning point in his career, prompting him to rethink direction, visibility, and the way he approaches his work — ultimately leading to the creation of this podcast.

Modern Musician’s Survival Guide was born out of the need for honest conversations about what it really means to build a life in music today. Through personal experience and reflection, the podcast aims to help musicians navigate the modern music world with greater awareness, confidence, and intention.

This episode sets the foundation for future conversations around career strategy, mindset, self-management, and the transition from studies to professional life.
