Episode 98 - Creating a Music Career That Pays the Bills with Steve Brown

For those of us who make music, it’s a goal to earn money doing what we love. I’m delighted to bring you an outstanding conversation with Steve Brown all about creating a music career that pays the bills. The quote for this episode is by Johnny Cash: “You build on failure. Use it as a stepping stone and close the door on the past. Don’t try to forget the mistakes, but don’t dwell on it.” Steve has had such an inspiring journey so far, so I enjoyed having him on the show to chat about the roller coaster ride of success and failure in the music industry, developing a thick skin and treating mistakes and roadblocks as learning experiences, making money through playing live, keeping an open mind while exploring various opportunities involving music, performing both covers and original songs at shows, making good first impressions and aiming for professional quality, developing good mic technique, and much more. My conversation with Steve is full of inspiring gems, so I hope you love it. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest?
