Last year I self published a book called "Startup Musician" in paperback and kindle, but no audiobook. So, it's story time with Brandon. In this episode I read the first 2 chapters of the book. Check out the book on Amazon by searching "Startup Musician."

John Whitt Jr

We've talked before about the importance of really killing it when you sub for someone else, but John Whitt Jr. takes that to a whole new level. In this podcast interview with John Whitt Jr, you'll hear how he managed to sub into the Kendrick Lamar band, on a rig that wasn't his, with no rehearsal or even soundcheck, and nail it enough to land the fulltime gig a few months later. Whaaaa? Yes. John Whitt Jr. has worked with many artists such as Kendrick, Miguel, Tinashe, Alicia Keys, and Common. It was a pleasure talking to him and picking his brain, and you'll get a lot of valuable info out of this episode.
