Questions, Opinions and Riffs: Episode 004


QUESTIONS, OPINIONS AND RIFFS

The this edition of my “QOR” series — that’s “Questions, Opinions and Riffs”, I’m breaking protocol and answering one question that I actually DO have an answer for.

I usually say that I really don’t have “answers”, per se, that will work across the board for everybody, but that I instead have opinions on the issues people have been emailing me about recently. I say that hopefully some of what works for me will also work for you, too. But in today’s case, I can definitively speak on the subject and I think it will translate well to anything you might be dealing with as a creative artist as well. It’s a subject that means a lot to me and has in many ways defined me for more than a year now.

This video series — which I hope to make a regular thing around here — is as much for me as it is for you: In an effort to annihilate my inbox which gets flooded with queries about everything related to my experience as a composer, artist, musician and business person, I’m offering these sessions to you face-to-face so that I can talk to you straight, much like I would if we were hanging out and just shooting the breeze. Plus, I don’t have to worry about typos and syntax.

GOT QUESTIONS?

If you have something you are wondering about that you want my take on, there are several ways to reach me with it:

  1. Go to the CONTACT page and let ‘er rip!
  2. If we are already hooked up at FACEBOOK, hit me up with a private message. (NOTE: If you post to the wall, it will likely get erased and unanswered, so please leave a PM.)
  3. Circle me on GOOGLE+ and leave me a message there.

    Some great insights here Deane. I thought I knew a bit about what went on in the build up to this album but I didn't realise quite how much you changed things to go on this journey.

    Some great advice too for the rest of us trying to decide whether to take that leap into the unknown, cheers man. :)
