The Hustling Artist, Created by Mesia Austin The Hustling Artist was created for the heart and mind of the working artist. Its purpose is to provide a safe space for creatives to speak and share knowledge around the daily grind of the freelance world, surveying the perspectives of both emerging and established artists across a wide span of disciplines. The conversations are as much about the artist’s actual craft as they are about the individual’s unique navigation of their own respective industry. The artists featured here may be your peers, mentors, or heroes—each an expert on their own life, journeying towards balance between personal and professional success, whatever that may mean to them. The Hustling Artist aims to uncover the real and raw experiences we all face as art makers. Led by musician Mesia Austin, these interviews discuss the business, the struggles, the creativity, the passion, and the survival necessary to our personal lives and profession industries of the 21st century Hustling Artist. By forging this particular dialogue, it is our hope that listeners will gain perspective, encouragement, and resources applicable to their own hustle, further creating a community of shared learning, reflection, and progress.
