Episode 50 - The Life of a Solo Artist with Peter McDermott

Being a solo artist requires so much love for the craft of songwriting, dedication to learning how to navigate the music business, and commitment to growing as a person and musician. I’m honored to share an outstanding conversation with Peter McDermott all about the life of a solo artist. The quote for this episode is by Aretha Franklin: “Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you’re doing. If you’re not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it.” Peter and I paint the reality of being a solo artist in an honest way. It takes a lot to be an artist, and we pull back the curtain by sharing our own experiences and advice. We talk about showing confidence, enhancing our musicianship, exploring our sound through covering songs, the freedom that comes with being a solo independent artist, the challenges we face, and lots more. Our conversation is truly genuine, and we hope it gives you a realistic glimpse into our lives as solo artists. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode?
